The Charlotte Hornets have their sights set on a blend of athleticism and upside in Jonathan Wasserman’s latest two-round NBA mock draft.

The team addresses potential needs with selections like the high-flying VJ Edgecombe and the skilled playmaker Sergio De Larrea.

Let’s take a closer look at the Hornets’ selections in the most recent mock draft wave.

The Hornets kick off their draft with a high-risk, high-reward selection in Edgecombe. The Baylor guard possesses explosive athleticism and showcased impressive three-point shooting in his limited college action. However, consistency remains a concern, as does his ability to finish at the rim.

With their second first-round pick, the Hornets opt for the Spanish guard, De Larrea. Known for his efficient scoring and playmaking abilities, De Larrea projects as a potential sharpshooter and secondary ball-handler in the NBA. His ability to score and create for others at a high level in the ACB league makes him an intriguing prospect.

In the second round, the Hornets add size and playmaking with the selection of Danny Wolf. The Michigan center possesses unique passing skills for a big man, showcasing impressive court vision and the ability to handle the ball. His development as a floor-spacing center could make him a valuable asset in today’s NBA.

The Hornets conclude their draft by selecting the defensive-minded center, Mouhamed Faye. Faye’s impressive defensive instincts and ability to protect the rim could make him a valuable contributor on that end of the floor. While his offensive game still needs development, his defensive potential makes him an intriguing long-term project.
