Arkansas shooting guard Moses Moody is the 18th ranked overall prospect by ESPN.

Moses Moody has been projected all over the board by draft experts in recent months. He can be anything from a top 10 pick to falling into the late teens.

If Moody is available at 11 for the Hornets, he could be a player that instantly adjusts to the NBA level.

Moody, 19, would be a perfect wing player with the help of his 7-foot wingspan. He is seen as an excellent on-ball defender and can be used as a 3-and-D player.

If drafted by the Hornets he would be more of a role player that can provide strong defense and shooting off the bench and supply defensive wing depth that Charlotte could use.

In his lone season with the Razorbacks, Moody shot 36 percent from three, averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game.

The downside with Moody is his shooting release needs to be quicker and he has to learn how to drive better to the rim rather than settling for mid-range jumpers.

NBA Draft Net compares him to Glen Rice and Robert Covington.
