The 2020-21 NBA season concluded just last week with the Milwaukee Bucks defeating the Phoenix Suns to claim their second NBA Championship, their first since 1971. Now, we move to the offseason and the first order of business for NBA teams is the NBA Draft.
The Charlotte Hornets and other teams will be looking to find the league’s next young stars as they look to make their run at the NBA title. For Charlotte specifically, they’ll be looking at adding young depth around their Rookie of the Year award winner, LaMelo Ball. The Hornets must take advantage of their lottery pick to try and add another stud to the roster.
Swarm and Sting has been bringing you all draft content for quite some time now and we’re going to cap it off with our team’s 2021 first-round mock draft. Participating in this mock draft are co-site experts Shawn Simmons and Stephen Sears, and contributors Josh Flenniken, Filippo Barresi, Evan Birchmore, Jason Hubler, and Michael Wylie.
The NBA Draft is July 29 at 8 p.m.
This mock was done before the completion of the trade involving Memphis and New Orleans.
