Michael Jordan broke down and took a Duke player - something he once joked was hard to do - as his Hornets took big man Mark Williams at #15 in the 2022 NBA Draft.
Williams is unbelievably long, nearly able to touch the rim on his tip-toes. He’s an outstanding shotblocker obviously but he also just bring immense smarts to the Hornets.
He’s got a ferocity that will only get keener in the NBA.
Charlotte had taken Jalen Duran at #13 but reportedly will trade him to Detroit.
Immediately after Williams was taken by Charlotte, Duke teammate AJ Griffin went to Atlanta at #16.
