Draft & stash options for the Hornets at 56 & 57 in the 2021 NBA Draft

The Charlotte Hornets have three picks in the upcoming NBA Draft; the 11th pick which understandably is the focus of most discussions, but they also hold the 56th and 57th pick. Charlotte unfortunately traded their own 2021 second round pick away (42nd) in the Willy Hernangomez trade, the last swing of the bat from the Rich Cho era.

So how did Charlotte end up with two very late seconds? The 56th pick from the LA Clippers was one of the picks Charlotte picked up from the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - Miles Bridges trade. The 57th pick was sent from Brooklyn as part of the Dwight Howard/Timofey Mozgov trades.
