The NBA Draft Lottery is Tuesday, and on Thursday the Charlotte Hornets will get their first chance of the offseason to scout players who they might choose to select in next month’s draft.
The Hornets are hosting six players Thursday at Spectrum Center for pre-draft workouts as they try to find the missing pieces that can help them make the playoffs for the first time in six seasons. This past season, Charlotte played its first postseason game since 2015-16, losing to the Indiana Pacers in the playoff’s play-in tournament.
Players attending the Hornets’ Thursday workout are Armando Bacot (UNC), Jalen Crutcher (Dayton), Chandler Vaudrin (Winthrop), Yves Pons (Tennessee), Naziah Carter (Washington) and Marcus Carr (Minnesota)
Charlotte made significant roster additions last offseason, first by signing free agent Gordon Hayward to a three-year deal.
