It’s officially draft season. The Charlotte Hornets will host their first round of pre-draft workouts on Wednesday, May 1. For comparison, they didn’t host their first round of pre-draft workouts until May 25 last season. General manager Mitch Kupchak and co. aren’t messing around this offseason. It seems like they are poised to use every available day to get a look at guys going into the draft in June.
Wedneday’s group of participants are all of the late flier or camp invite variety. They are:
- Nicolas Claxton, Sophomore, Forward, Georgia
- Chris Clemons, Senior, Guard, Campbell
- Hassani Gravett, Senior, Guard, South Carolina
- Dewan Hernandez, Junior, Forward, Miami (FL)
- Ronshad Shabazz, Senior, Guard, Appalachian State
- LaGerald Vick, Senior, Guard, Kansas
None of the players are currently projected to be drafted in June, but there are still some interesting names.
