2025 Draft Discussion (2nd round candidates)

NBA Draft
21

I know this is the 2nd round thread, but this kind of fits. I’d like to see the Hornets package these two picks together (or with something else) to move back into the 1st round. There’s a couple players that I’d like to see picked if the hornets indeed package the 2nds.

-If Thomas Sorber is still available after pick 20, I think he’d be a great addition.
-Nique Clifford is a 6’6 205 pound SG who shot threes at a 38% clip, averaged 9.6 rebounds per game. Yes, 9.6 boards per game. And he’s a great defender. gasp Nique is a little older!! I believe he’s 23.

If Ryan Kalkbrenner is available at pick 33, I think the Hornets have to draft him. Would be great.

After seeing a fair amount of discussion about our cap space and roster unless we let some of the vets walk Curry, Gibson etc. (which everyone says we need) and if we sign any other vets to come in… I HIGHLY doubt we take 2 second rounders this year (and I’d prefer we use the assets instead of selling them HORNETS!)
