Charlotte is the new Lob City and the NBA is not ready for it

Rob Perez, A.K.A WorldWideWob, has declared it, so therefore it must be true - Charlotte is the new Lob City.

Perez, who gained popularity on NBA Twitter for his light-hearted yet insightful NBA tweets, was evidently keeping tabs on the Charlotte Hornets’ first-round NBA Draft selections. They nabbed James Bouknight at 11th overall and traded up to select Kai Jones 19th overall.

In what ended up being a very eventful night for Buzz City, they added two highly sought-after rookies. Bouknight was projected to be picked as high as 5th overall, while most mock drafts believed Jones could go late in the lottery.
