The 'No. 2 NBA Draft picks since 1985' quiz

The Charlotte Hornets took advantage of an under-manned Memphis Grizzlies squad for what could be a milestone win for the franchise. The 112-97 victory was Charlotte’s season-best fourth in a row and their 20th of the season, passing their total from 2024-25 with 34 games left to play. 

A key to the Hornets surge following their putrid 4-14 start has, shockingly, been the health of their best players. Franchise star LaMelo Ball is just nine games away from matching his games played total from 2024-25, while Brandon Miller has already played more games than he did last year. Miller in particular has been spectacular for the Hornets, scoring 20 or more in eight straight games after scoring 26 on 9-of-17 shooting.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Despite injuries limiting him to just 27 games in his second season, Miller looks like a hit for the Hornets after drafting him second-overall in 2023. With that being said, can you name every No. 2-pick in the Lottery Era or the NBA Draft?

Good luck!
