After only one season at Duke, Frank Jackson chose to declare for the NBA Draft. Although he originally kept his options open about returning to school, his showing at the draft combine convinced him to sign with an agent and officially leave college. The point guard is projected to be a second-round pick and could be the perfect candidate for the Charlotte Hornets who are set to pick 41st overall.
With 12 players signed through next season for the Hornets, they don’t have many needs but one glaring hole is the backup point guard spot. Ramon Sessions and Brian Roberts didn’t work out behind Kemba Walker in the rotation this past season and both of their contracts are up this summer.
