At The Hive

The community’s selection at 36 overall, Schofield would bring some toughness and outside shooting to the Hornets wing rotation. The At the Hive community was tasked with voting on the Hornets selection at 36 overall in our community mock draft, and you all selected guard Admiral Schofield out of Tennessee. Not only does Schofield have arguably the best name in the draft, he also brings a skill set and intangibles that should help an NBA team immediately.

With the 36th overall pick in the At the Hive community mock NBA draft, the Charlotte Hornets select Admiral Schofield, guard, Tennessee. After a day and a half of voting, readers of At the Hive have made their collective voices heard. Schofield won the vote rather convincingly, receiving 20% of the votes in a pool of 25 players. The only other players to crack double figures were Talen Horton-Tucker (14%) and Jalen Lecque (11%). Darius Bazley (9%), Jontay Porter (8%), and Deividas Syrvidis (7%) get honorable mention as well....

With a heavy Tar Heel influence in the front office, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Hornets selected a UNC product in the first round. The Charlotte Hornets are loaded with UNC connections. Chairman Michael Jordan, General Manager Mitch Kupchak, and Assistant General Manager Buzz Peterson all attended school and played basketball at Chapel Hill. The team spending two lottery picks on UNC teammates Raymond Felton and Sean May back in 2005 has stuck in the team’s reputation for 14 years. Combine those two, and you get a lot of people assuming Nassir Little is a lock for the Hornets’...

The sharpshooter from Kentucky is typically mocked a little after the Hornets, pick but they could be enticed by his offensive skill. The Charlotte Hornets need outside shooting. They may also need a wing to replace the potential of Jeremy Lamb in free agency. Although he’s typically projected to go a bit after the Hornets pick at 12, Tyler Herro checks both of those boxes. Measurements Height: 6’4” without shoes, 6’6.5” in shoesWingspan: 6’3.25”Standing reach: 8’4.5”Weight: 192 pounds Strengths: Shooting stroke, play making potential, effort level Tyler Herro’s main...

The Hornets could take a big swing on an uber talented European prospect should he fall to them. The Charlotte Hornets have been mired in mediocrity for awhile, resulting in several picks at the back end of the lottery. Most players available in this range are expected to be solid yet unspectacular pieces, but there are always a few prospects that provide a chance for big upside. One of those prospects this year is Sekou Doumbouya, should he drop a few spots further than expected. Measurements Height: 6’9.25”Standing reach: 8’11.5”Weight: 231 pounds Strengths: Physical tools,...

He big. We’ve talked about it on a here a lot. The Charlotte Hornets have a problem at the center spot. It’s highly likely that a new center will be in the rotation next year, and the second round of this draft is rife with big man talent. The fan favorite of those options- Tacko Fall Measurements Height: 7’5.25” without shoes, 7’7” in shoesWingspan: 8’2.25”Standing reach: 10’2.5”Weight: 288 poundsVertical: 22” standing, 26.5” maximum Strengths: Size, rim protection Tacko Fall is a massive human being, and that accounts for 100% of his appeal as a prospect.

The Hornets could bolster their forward position with arguably the draft’s best shooter. The Charlotte Hornets need shooting. Kemba Walker is a virtuoso ball handler and shot creator, but too often he was hampered by a lack of shooting around him. If the Hornets get some draft luck, they could immediately shore up that weakness with arguably the best shooter in the draft, Dylan Windler. Measurements Height: 6’6.25” without shoes, 6’7.5” in shoesWingspan: 6’10”Standing reach: 8’8.5”Weight: 196 poundsVertical: 29” standing, 37.5” maximum Strengths: Shooting stroke,...

The Hornets could use a second round pick to shore up their wing depth. The Charlotte Hornets have two second round picks in next weeks NBA Draft. They could elect to use one of them to add some athleticism and depth to the forward position. Isaiah Roby fits that bill. After playing in mostly a reserve role in his first two seasons at Nebraska, the former 3-star recruit put himself on the NBA radar in his junior season.

The three time All Star spoke with the media at his basketball camp. Charlotte Hornets point guard and pending free agent Kemba Walker spoke with the media during his basketball camp today. He largely reiterated many of the same things he said in his interview with The Athletic, but there were a few more interesting nuggets to be heard. First, Walker apparently keeps getting asked about whether or not he wants to stay in Charlotte no matter how many times he says yes. Top notch reporting people. Asked Kemba if he still wants to be in Charlotte. "I don't know how many times I can say...

He was the fan selection in the community mock, so we’ll take a deeper look at what he brings to the table. In our community mock draft, the fans voted on who they wanted the Charlotte Hornets to select. Their answer- Bol Bol. Bol is a arguably the most high-risk high-reward prospect in this draft class. His skills at his size are almost unprecedented, but he comes with questions over his body and his mentality.

A couple minor bits of news have come out in the past 48 hours or so. A few things have happened in Charlotte Hornets world over the last few days. Here’s a quick rundown. Kemba Walker is part of the 20 player training camp roster for Team USA’s entry into the FIBA World Cup. He, Kyle Lowry, and Damian Lillard are the only three point guards on the roster, so there’s a good chance he makes the final roster. According to Ian Begley of SNY.tv, Walker is expected to remain with the Hornets should they offer him a max contract. Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the New York Knicks,...

The Hornets have made their selection. Let’s keep this train rolling.
