Is Alexandre Sarr the best draft pick for the Charlotte Hornets?
Which prospect should be the first pick on the Hornets’ roster if they win the NBA Draft Lottery in 2024?
The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery, which will take place in Chicago, Illinois on May 12th, just before the scouting combine gets underway, is quickly approaching.
In perhaps one of the poorest draft classes in recent memory, the Charlotte Hornets stand a 13.3 percent probability of taking the top overall choice. Role player types make up the bulk of this year’s crop of prospects, while star power for 2024 is almost nonexistent.
Even so, the Hornets need to win big with this lottery selection to complement their main building blocks, LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, with another essential core player. Thanks to their youthful, vibrant team, Charlotte has completed the most difficult portion of the rebuilding process, but there is still much work to be done on a redesigned front office.
After an underwhelming 21-61 year, who should be at the top of Charlotte’s draft board? Finding the ideal complement for Ball and Miller is crucial if the Hornets win the first pick, particularly in a draft class full of unknowns.
Jonathan Givony of ESPN reports that several teams have three talents that are definitely in the top five, if not the top two: French Wing’s Zaccharie Risacher and Big Brother’s Alexandre Sarr – France) and Big – UConn’s Donovan Clingan. After that, it’s entirely up for grabs.
The Hornets’ solution may have already been made public, ideally. During his post-season media availability, former head coach Steve Clifford—who is now transitioning into a front office advisory role—referred to Miller as a shooting guard rather than a small forward. If Miller and Ball are seen by Charlotte as a backcourt tandem, they will be able to retain Miles Bridges as their starting wing by re-signing him.
The Hornets’ center of the future is also secured, assuming Mark Williams recovers to full health—a major question that remains unclear owing to a lower back bone condition, as Clifford described it.
On paper, Sarr seems to be the most suitable choice, isn’t that right?Yes, and when you look more closely at the lanky Frenchman’s game, you’ll see that he would cover up a lot of the deficiencies that the Hornets now have.
