Based on the results of Tuesday night’s annual NBA draft lottery, the Charlotte Hornets’ first-round pick could end up any one of six spots: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 11th, 12th or 13th.
By far, the most likely result for the Hornets, from the process in Chicago (7:30 p.m. ESPN), is picking 11th (a 90.74 percent probability). But they have some small chance of moving up into one of the top 3 picks. They also could slip back to 12th or 13th, if one or two non-playoff teams with records better than the Hornets’ 36-46 jump into the top 3.
