Michael Jordan will reportedly have final say on Hornets No. 2 pick despite selling team last week

The future of the Charlotte Hornets will reportedly be decided by the team's outgoing majority owner. Michael Jordan, who agreed to sell the Hornets this past Friday, will have the final say on who Charlotte takes with the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NBA draft, general manager Mitch Kupchak said Wednesday.

"Michael is still in control and will be in control of the club through the draft and through free agency," Kupchak said.

This is odd, but not a surprise.
