This is going to be an interesting upcoming NBA Draft, as there are plenty of opinions on players and team needs.  Though this year’s draft has a lot of question marks surrounding the talent coming out, there is no doubt that there will be some surprises on teams who hit on players and surprising players to make their mark on the league.

So maybe, this is a draft that brings a unique balance of talent and need for NBA organizations, even earlier than in years past. Which is why we are looking back at the Charlotte Hornets again. The Hornets struggled once again but there are still a ton of bright spots with this team, including their rookie Brandon Miller.

But heading into this year’s draft and looking to possibly draft in the Top 5 once again, should the Hornets go for a player of need or should they go with the best available; it could be a mixture of both.

Charlotte ranks near dead last in many categories, but the areas that would be a concern for me are on the defensive end, on the boards, and with size. They have a bright young prospect in Mark Williams but he only played 19 games this year.
