As of now, the Charlotte Hornets currently hold the 11th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. The lottery system didn’t have any plans to move them up higher, but that doesn’t mean the Hornets can’t work something out. This draft class has a ton of talent at the top and should produce several players that will become household names – Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham, Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs, and USC big man Evan Mobley, just to name a few.
