The NBA draft lottery is receiving a lot of attention amidst the playoffs. Several teams are on a mission to turn things around in the upcoming season with a young player who can be a part of their core. One of them is the Charlotte Hornets which is owned by Michael Jordan. As the winners of the draft lottery surface online, fans believe the Hornets have a great chance to draft an extraordinary talent. Though the MJ-owned team does not have a chance for Victor Wembanyama, fans believe they can still benefit from the draft. 

The drafts from recent years show how much a young competitive player can make an impact with their new team. A few examples are Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards. 

Can Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Hornets still benefit from the draft? 

French sensation Victor Wembanyama’s impact has been felt even before his entry into the NBA. The 7’2 center with a virtually unlimited wingspan has proved his worth. Highlights showing his ball handling, blocking and shot-making skills have had teams scrambling to draft him first. The San Antonio Spurs, who are on the first place in the draft lottery, are believed to make an impact next season with Victor Wembanyama. However, fans believe the Hornets, who have the second pick, will also benefit hugely from the draft.

A five-star point guard from the Marietta, Scoot Henderson is believed to be the second overall pick in the draft. The 6’2 point guard has shown his versatility in the NBA G League Ignite. Having bagged the second place in the draft lottery, fans believe the Hornets will have an upper edge in the upcoming season if they draft Henderson.
