Here is my mock draft for this year. I have the Hornets taking Austin Rivers with the 10th pick. Even if the Hornets re-sign Eric Gordon, Rivers can be used as combo guard and play the point also. The Hornets will pick him mainly off of his ability to score, in tandem with Gordon will only make the team better.
If you have any questions or comments about any player going anywhere, I would love to hear them!

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.
