The G League draft was held on January 11. For the first time in team history, the Swarm held the No. 1 pick and selected forward Admiral Schofield. The Swarm did not make their second (No. 33) or third round (No. 39) selections because of roster size limitations.

Hornets’ two-way players Nate Darling and Grant Riller will take part in the bubble as well as 2020 second-round draft pick Vernon Carey and second-year forward Jalen McDaniels.

Here are a few Swarm players you should get familiar with as the one-month NBA G League season unfolds.
