With nine days to go to the NBA Draft, outlets across the country are releasing updated mock drafts. Today’s come to us from Sports Illustrated’s Jeremy Woo, who has Kevin Knox going 11th to the Charlotte Hornets and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 14th to the Denver Nuggets.
“With nearly all their key pieces set to return under contract, it might make sense for Charlotte to draft with an eye toward long-term development here,” Woo writes. “A prospect like Knox, who’s full of long-term upside, makes sense here in that scenario. While Knox is still figuring things out, he has a lot of appealing tools and should be able to make an impact as a scorer as he matures physically and learns the game.
