Michael Jordan has had a challenging time leading the Charlotte Hornets to success since taking ownership of the team in 2010. Although he had a distinguished playing career with the Chicago Bulls, his time as an owner has been characterized by limited successes and criticism from NBA pundits. Since Jordan took charge, the Charlotte Hornets have been unable to forge a significant presence in the NBA. A possible development in their roster before next season, nevertheless, suggests more of the same.

The team’s current 27-55 record and 14th-seed finish in the Eastern Conference reflect their lack of form and inability to form a sense of cohesion. Even though the team has talented players like LaMelo Ball, injuries and patchy play have hampered the team’s development.

Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Hornets are on the verge of an important decision

The Charlotte Hornets, worth $1.7 Billion, last reached playoff participation in 2016. Additionally, they have been the NBA team with the longest postseason drought since 2002. The Hornets are in a hopeful position as the NBA Draft in 2023 draws near, with a chance to fill their roster with much-needed talent and youth. The team has the opportunity to turn around its woes and give its enduring fan base optimism with five draft picks, all of which are among the first 41 choices. It seems like the team’s potential pick for the latest season, however, might be a controversial one.

The Twitter handle for NBA Central shared the news of the Hornets’ potential pick for the upcoming season, as per an NBA Insider. It read, “Most NBA teams we’ve spoken with have [Brandon Miller] over [Scoot Henderson ] on their draft board, and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if that is the direction the Hornets go on draft night.”

The G-League Ignite prospect Scoot Henderson stands at 6’2″ with a wingspan of 6’9″ and attacks the hoop with authority owing to his quick first step. Despite this, the Hornets might still turn him down over Brandon Miller.

Miller holds an edge over Henderson as many NBA executives have reportedly expressed disappointment in what they saw from Henderson this season in repeated viewings. Even though he needs to work on his outside shooting to realize his full potential, Henderson’s total skill set makes him an intriguing pick in the NBA draft, which will take place in 10 days. The Charlotte Hornets have a tough decision to make with their upcoming pick. The rumor, however, has left many in the basketball world questioning Charlotte’s choices.
