The Charlotte Hornets will have the first overall pick
The 2020 NBA draft will be held on June 22nd, 2020. The Charlotte Hornets will have the first overall pick. This is a result of the team’s poor performance during the 2019-2020 season. The Hornets will have a chance to draft a player that can help the team improve its fortunes next season.
This is the third time in franchise history that the Hornets have had the first overall pick
In 1991, the Charlotte Hornets had the third overall pick in the NBA draft. They used that pick to draft Larry Johnson from UNLV. Johnson was a key member of the Hornets teams that reached the playoffs in each of his first four seasons, including a run to the Eastern Conference Semifinals in 1993. He was named an All-Star in 1995 and was named co-MVP of the All-Star game that year. He went on to play eight seasons for the Hornets, before being traded to the New York Knicks in 1998.
In 2002, the Charlotte Hornets again had the third overall pick in the NBA draft. With that pick, they selected Jay Williams from Duke University. Williams played two seasons for the Hornets before his career was cut short by a motorcycle accident.
Now, in 2017, the Charlotte Hornets have once again secured the first overall pick in the NBA draft. This is only the third time in franchise history that they have held this coveted position. It remains to be seen who they will select with this pick, but whoever it is will hopefully go on to have a career as successful as Larry Johnson’s or Jay Williams’.
The last time the Hornets had the first overall pick was in 2002, when they selected Duke’s Jay Williams
The Charlotte Hornets will have the first overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, which takes place on June 22nd. The last time the Hornets had the first overall pick was in 2002, when they selected Duke’s Jay Williams. It is unclear who the Hornets will select with the first overall pick at this time.
