Just hours ahead of Thursday’s NBA draft, there’s been a bit of a shift at the top. The Hornets, who hold the No. 2 pick in the draft, have been torn between Alabama’s Brandon Miller or the G League Ignite’s Scoot Henderson and it appears there’s momentum towards Charlotte selecting Henderson, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
The team has final meetings today and will decide who will be selected. Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak told reporters Wednesday that owner Michael Jordan will have the final say on who the team selects. On Friday, the organization announced that Jordan has agreed to sell his majority stake in the franchise, however. So whatever decision he makes, he won’t be around as the owner much longer to see how it plays out.
