Everyone expected the Charlotte Hornets to lean into drafting a center after they traded Mark Williams for the 29th pick in this draft (that became Liam McNeeley) and a future first.
Sion James is well on his way to becoming a fan favorite in the Queen City. The third of four 2025 NBA draft picks for the Charlotte Hornets, James quickly ingratiated himself into the culture of the city by volunteering for Samaratian's Feet before he was even drafted by the Hornets.
Now that the dust has settled a bit surrounding the start of free agency, I think we have a moment to catch our breath and revisit the draft one more time before summer league starts.
