2 weeks ago | si.com | Schuyler Callihan

There's a lot of conversation surrounding the Charlotte Hornets' decision with the fourth overall pick in this year's draft, and understandably so. However, a trade up the board is something that isn't being talked about nearly enough. The Hornets own the third and fourth picks of the second round (33rd and 34th overall), and there's no reason for Charlotte to keep and make both selections.

LaMelo Ball's future in Charlotte isn't the only thing folks around the league are questioning. His overall ceiling as a player is also in question, considering we haven't been able to see him on the floor for an entire season since he entered the league.

Jaylan Knighton (SMU transfer), Tye Edwards (Northern Iowa transfer), and Diore Hubbard will be rotated into action, but it'll be Jahiem White's show in this high-flying, uptempo Rich Rodriguez offensive attack.

Second-round draft picks are often forgotten about. Very few of them pan out or have much of a career, but some have gone on to have Hall of Fame careers. The Charlotte Hornets/Bobcats haven't had that type of luck, but they've had some decent contributors. Today, we rank the five best second-round draft picks in Charlotte history. Please note, the rankings are not solely based on their career in Charlotte. It's taking their entire career into account.

A high-ceiling prospect could drop to the Hornets… but there’s a catch

The most realistic, perfect scenario for the Charlotte Hornets on draft night is that Baylor guard VJ Edgecombe makes it to them at No. 4. He's a perfect fit in Charlotte's backcourt, supplying a defensive mentality that is currently non-existent. Unfortunately for Jeff Peterson, there's no guarantee he makes it to them. More and more mock drafts are starting to slide Edgecombe to the Sixers at No. 3, which would have Rutgers wins Ace Bailey falling to the Hornets.

Ah, yes. The NBA draft is near, and it's another opportunity for the Charlotte Hornets to add to their long history of swings and misses.

For this week's Charlotte Hornets On SI roundtable, we offer our thoughts as to what was the biggest draft blunder in franchise history.
