The Hornets hold the No. 2 pick and the top contenders to be chosen at that spot are visiting Charlotte soon, Roderick Boone of the Charlotte Observer reports.
G League Ignite point guard Scoot Henderson is scheduled to come in on Sunday, while Alabama forward Brandon Miller will visit on Tuesday. A trio of prospects also rated among the top 10 on most draft boards are also working out for the Hornets in the near future. Twins brothers Amen Thompson and Ausar Thompson of Overtime Elite will work out on Friday. Villanova forward Cam Whitmore is scheduled to come in on June 17.
We have more draft-related notes:
- Speaking of the Thompson twins, they worked out for the Trail Blazers last week, according to Aaron Fentress of The Oregonian. They are ranked No. 4 and No. 5 in ESPN’s rankings.
- Another projected Top 10 pick, UCF’s Taylor Hendricks, revealed some of his future workouts while visiting the Pacers on Wednesday, Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files reports. He has workouts lined up with the Pistons, Mavericks, Jazz and Thunder. He previously worked out for the Magic. The power forward is ranked No. 9 on ESPN’s Best Available list.
- The Cavaliers will work out Akron native and Kentucky forward Chris Livingston next week, according to Chris Fedor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Eastern Michigan guard Emoni Bates will also visit soon. They could fall in the range of Cleveland’s second-round pick (No. 49 overall).
Rockets should trade up for Scoot. That’s the move……
It would have to be with Portland
Portland will take Eason, or Smith and a 2024 1st
They should honestly. Good idea.
Indiana should draft Hendricks and then trade Turner for Ayton
