Charlotte Hornets: How Precious Achiuwa Could be the Steal of the Draft

Regardless of the Eric Collins call possibilities that would come with the Charlotte Hornets selecting, Precious Achiuwa in the upcoming draft, Mitch Kupchak should seriously target the athletic forward for a myriad of reasons.

Achiuwa, coming off of a shortened freshmen campaign at the University of Memphis, was a top recruit coming out of high school.

After dominating at three basketball powerhouse high schools, he impressed scouts even more with a game-high, 22 points in the 2019 McDonald’s All-American game. A few months after that showing, Achiuwa committed to Penny Hardaway and the Memphis Tigers.
