Charlotte Hornets 2020 NBA Draft Monthly Big Board: December Edition

#51-60

*Stats provided as of 12/2/19

Grant Riller has been awesome during his career at Charleston, and could have a chance to make it into the NBA with his scoring ability. He’s averaging 20.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists currently. He’ll have a chance to sneak into the second round.

Anthony Lamb, a Vermont senior, has really struggled with his shooting to begin the season. He’s averaging 16.8 points and 8.2 rebounds, but his efficiency is at 37 percent overall and 23 percent from deep. Those numbers will certainly improve as the season progresses. He’s got some NBA skills.

Kevin Samuel tested the pre-draft process last season, but opted to return to TCU for his sophomore season. He is now averaging 11.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in 28.9 minutes. The upside is there, but will he make the jump to the NBA this time around?

Aaron Wiggins has also struggled with his efficiency early on, shooting just 36 percent overall and 31 percent from three, but the role player potential is evident. Wiggins is averaging 10.8 points and 5.8 rebounds a night and does so without dominating the ball.

Alpha Diallo has gotten better and better during his career at Providence, and has also turned into one of the more productive players in the Big East. He’s averaging 13.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists. The scoring and efficiency are low for him, but his all-around game has been impressive.

He may be small, but Markus Howard is one of the best scorers in the country. The senior guard is averaging an incredible 26.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists while shooting 44 percent from three-point land. He needs to improve his point guard skills, but man, this guy can put the ball in the basket.

Now a senior at Butler, Kamar Baldwin continues to show why he could end up in the NBA, especially if he ever adds a consistent jumper. Baldwin is averaging 17.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists this season, and has had some good moments in the clutch.

Arturs Zagars could be a good draft-and-stash option in the second round. He’s a 6’3″ floor general that can shoot and get into the lane. He’s still figuring things out defensively, and he’s not the best athlete, but he could be a player to develop late in the draft.

In eight games this season, Paul Eboua is averaging 6.5 points and 4.1 rebounds in 19.0 minutes overseas. He has good size, length and athleticism that could carry over to the next level.

Biram Faye has intriguing physical tools, but is still learning and developing as a player. He’s averaging 3.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 10.1 minutes overseas this season and could be another draft-and-stash option.
