CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak was a busy man Thursday night.
The Hornets selected guard James Bouknight from Connecticut with the No. 11 pick and landed a pair of centers via trade.
Kupchak acquired veteran center Mason Plumlee from the Detroit Pistons before the draft, then traded away a future first-round pick to the New York Knicks for the 19th overall pick and got Texas center Kai Jones, according a person familiar with the situation.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday night because the trades have not yet been made official.
