15. Charlotte Hornets – Mark Williams, C, Duke
I’m fairly confident that the Charlotte Hornets are going to draft a big at some point in this draft – and will likely use one with one of their first-round draft picks. Mark Williams is a healthy guess considering it’s unlikely that Jalen Duren falls.
Williams gives the Hornets size that they didn’t have last season and a developmental prospect they can build around.
16. Atlanta Hawks – Tari Eason, F, LSU
The Atlanta Hawks could make a trade-up in the lottery but if they don’t, Tari Eason would be a solid prospect to gamble on. He’s uber-athletic and has the appearance of a player that could end up blossoming in the right system. If the Hawks move on from John Collins, Eason could be a developmental piece for the future.
