Charlotte Hornets: Unofficial 2018 NBA draft big board
By Noah Elmore
3. Marvin Bagley – PF/C, Duke
Early graduate Marvin Bagley is one of the most well-rounded prospects to ever come across scouting reports. At only 18 years old, he sports a 6’11”, 225 lb. frame. When you combine that body with an incredibly skilled player, you get a generational recruit.
Watch Bagley show off everything he does here. In the clip, he knocks down multiple turnaround post fade-aways, three-pointers, and hook shots. That’s in addition to the thunderous jams and vicious blocks he plasters all over the video too. Seriously, Bagley can do everything.
The only knock on him is perhaps that he doesn’t have a “specialty”, but when you have the offensive arsenal he does, it’s not really necessary. Bagley will run around slower players, through weaker ones, and shoot over shorter ones.
The only reason Bagley doesn’t top this mock list is that the Hornets have recently invested multiple picks into big men lately. However, Bagley may represent the best parts of all of them combined, and would certainly warrant a top selection, should Charlotte luck into one.
