Our staff offers their initial thoughts on the Hornets' first round pick.
With the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets took forward Tidjane Salaün. Here's how our staff graded the pick and the fit with Charlotte.Salaun is one of the youngest players in the draft at 18.7 years old, but also holds high long term upside. Standing at 6'10" with a 7'1" wingspan, he has elite size for a forward. He's a late bloomer, having missed out on selection for the French junior national teams.
The pick is good with how the board fell considering that Sheppard, Castle, and Holland went the three picks prior.Salaun is a shock of a pick at six for the Hornets but he’s the youngest player in the draft. Salaun is seen as player with a lot of potential, if he can reach it. A lot of fans question this pick, but obviously the Hornets and Jeff Peterson saw something with this kid so fans should embrace him in the Queen City.
