The Charlotte Hornets will trade up for a big
Heading into the NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets are equipped with the 13th and 15th pick. With one glaring need, I think there’s a good chance they package those two picks to trade up for a big. While they don’t have the ammunition to trade up for Chet Holmgren, they could target Jalen Duren (depending on how the board falls).
If Duren is available around the 9-10 picks, that could be the sweep spot for the Hornets to try and make a move. I’m not sure if packaging the 13 and 15 picks will be enough to move up to 9 or 10, but they have other pieces they could throw into a package as well.
The Hornets need a big and there will be an opportunity for the Hornets to snag one if the board falls the right way.
