After finishing the 2017-18 campaign with a 36-46 record and missing out on the playoffs for the second consecutive year, the Charlotte Hornets are back in the NBA Draft Lottery for the 11th time in the last 14 seasons and for the 19th time in franchise history. Unfortunately, that many selections in the lottery haven’t resulted in superstar level players. Despite their failures in the draft, they have had a few hits.
The Hornets have made a total of 52 selections in the NBA Draft since 1988. Last year, they picked Malik Monk 11th overall in the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft.
