9. Charlotte Hornets (Swarm and Sting; Reece Helms): Nik Stauskas, Shooting Guard, Michigan
With the 9th pick in the NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets (yes the Hornets!) select Nik Stauskas from Michigan. Stauskas is a deadly 3 point shooter, and that is almost guaranteed to translate to the NBA level. He has also improved his ability to put the ball on the floor and create his own shot, which he’ll have to do in the pros. Stauskas has been compared to Klay Thompson, which if he can live up to that hype, he is a steal at #9 for the Hornets.
