As we know, the Hornets have the #1 selection in the NBA draft along with the 10th overall selection. Deciding on who to take with the #1 pick will not too much decision making(Anthony Davis), but I can’t say the same for the 10th pick. I just wanted to take a look at past NBA drafts and who was selected 10th overall. Some names that really stand out are Andrew Bynum, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Brandon Jennings, and Horace Grant. Hopefully the Hornets can add the next big name to that list.

I'm a avid basketball fan from Seattle, Washington. I have found my passion in basketball and probably spend to much time following the NBA. The Hornets have became my team shortly after I started blogging on Swarm and Sting.
And yes, I was upset to see the Sonics move to Oklahoma but glad they're doing well. Im positive the NBA will return to the 206 one day.
