The Charlotte Hornets have the 4th, 33rd, and 34th overall picks in the 2025 NBA Draft.
- Top Prospects: Several players are projected to be top picks, including Duke’s Cooper Flagg, Rutgers’ Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey, Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe, Duke’s Kon Knueppel, and Texas’ Tre Johnson.
- Some mock drafts have the Hornets selecting Kon Knueppel from Duke with the fourth pick, citing his strong perimeter shooting, playmaking, and fit with the existing roster, according to multiple NBA mock drafts, says ESPN.
- Potential for Trades: Given the Hornets’ other picks, some mock drafts suggest they could trade down from the fourth pick to acquire additional assets, possibly targeting players like Knueppel, Jeremiah Fears, or Ace Bailey.
- Other Players: Other players mentioned in connection with the Hornets’ picks include Duke’s Sion James, Rutgers’ Ben Saraf, Florida State’s Jamir Watkins, and Arkansas’ Adou Thiero.
- Focus on Talent: The Hornets, despite having a rough season, are looking to capitalize on the draft to add talent and improve their playoff drought, says Athlon Sports.
