The Hornets own the #2 pick and are in the process of determining whether or not to draft Scoot Henderson or Brandon Miller.

With all the attention in Hornets land on the upcoming NBA Draft, as Charlotte owns the #2 pick, you may have missed that rising second-year center, Mark Williams underwent surgery today, to repair a ligament in his right thumb. According to Hornets.com, the procedure was successful, and he is expected to make a full recovery.

We're inching closer to next week's NBA Draft, and with the Finals over, that is now the focal point in the basketball world. The Hornets have been preparing for the draft since January, after a brutal start to the season, had them out of playoff contention right off the bat. A disappointing 27-55 record, did payoff when Charlotte did earn the #2 pick in the draft, just barely missing out on generational talent, Victor Webmanyama. With Charlotte being in control of how the rest of the draft will unfold, they have to decide whether or not to draft Brandon Miller, or Scoot Henderson, both of whom would be potential #1 overall picks in every other draft.
