NBA Mock Draft 5.0: Evan Mobley at No. 1; Warriors get richer with top 10 pick
11. Charlotte Hornets – Franz Wagner, F, Michigan
With LaMelo Bal in place, the future is bright for the first time in Charlotte in a long time. The team needs to continue to build around Ball and Franz Wagner would help this team on several fronts. For one, his presence in the frontcourt will help this team.
Even though he’s not a traditional big, Wagner rebounds well for his size and at 6-foot-9 he’ll give the Hornets some versatility in the frontcourt. His offensive ability will help take some of the playmaking pressure off of Ball and help this team overall.
Wagner may not be a certified future star but he’s talented and gifted enough to where he could play a big role in the Hornets’ build over the next few seasons.
