Drafting successfully in the second round is hard. With so many confounding variables, what kinds of players should the Charlotte Hornets be focusing on?
In my previous article, we explored a couple of prospect archetypes that the Hornets can look to in the second round while determining who they choose with the 32nd pick in this year’s draft. You can read that here, but I promise you won’t be lost if you don’t.

Both of the archetypes covered in this piece focus on types of prospects that are hard to project to the NBA.
For that reason, it’s feasible either player I chose to highlight could be available when the Hornets are on the clock with the 56th pick.
At that range, I think those players represent incredible value and upside.
