Take a look at who ESPN thinks Charlotte may target on draft night.
The Dallas Mavericks just made the NBA Finals on the back of stellar guard play. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving eviscerated the Minnesota Timberwolves with a dazzling display of handling, creating, and shot making that nary a duo in the league could match. Big men are having a renaissance in the NBA, but it's still a guard/wing league.
With LaMelo Ball slated to return and Brandon Miller playing big minutes at the small forward position, the Charlotte Hornets may find themselves in the market for a back court mate to pair with Ball., and they mocked a guard to the Hornets at number six. Woo's selection for the Hornets was, a guard out of the University of Kentucky. Here's what Woo had to say about the pick.
"With less than a month before the draft, Charlotte has been connected to perimeter players, with the team said to be high on the long-term future of Mark Williams-- which might preclude drafting Donovan Clingan as an option here. Other names to watch for the Hornets include Cody Williams and Rob Holland.
Dillingham would be an odd fit alongside Ball. He's undersized and his biggest weaknesses are on the defensive side of the ball. Charlotte would have a tough time building an elite defense with a starting back court of Dillingham and Ball.Dillingham is an electric ball handler with a deep bag of tricks. His handle and shooting ability give him the ability to score all over the floor and set up teammates for easy buckets as well.
Rob Dillingham fits the mold of a future Sixth Man of the Year candidate. His microwave bucket getting ability is perfectly suited to lead an offense coming off the bench, and his best role in Charlotte may be just that. However, drafting a bench scorer with the sixth overall pick is bad process, so if Charlotte makes that selection, they must assume Dillingham is capable of carrying a larger role for the team. We'll see come draft night what direction the Hornets go.
