Despite the incredibly low odds of moving up in the lottery, fans were hopeful for a miracle, but it just wasn’t to be, as the Charlotte Hornets earned the 12th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, right where they were projected to be.
Charlotte may not end up with Zion Williamson, New Orleans will get that honor, but they will still have the opportunity to add a very good prospect with their lottery selection. This is a solid draft class, and the Hornets will have plenty of options to look at.
Head Coach James Borrego represented the team at the Draft Lottery this year.
