NBA Mock Draft 3.0: NY Knicks get franchise star; Blazers find help for Lillard

14. Charlotte Hornets – Walker Kessler, C, Auburn

The Charlotte Hornets need a big and even though they acquired Montrezl Harrell at the NBA Trade Deadline, I have a hard time believing that he’s going to be the big of the future for the team. That said, they could target one in the draft.

One option for the team is Walker Kessler, who is an intriguing 7-footer out of Auburn. During his sophomore season with the Tigers (a transfer from North Carolina), Kessler is averaging 12 points and eight rebounds on – get this – 4.7 blocks per game.

As Hassan Whiteside once said, “ain’t no one doing it with blocks.” No, no one is doing it in college basketball like Kessler is. And he’s doing it with blocks.
