The Charlotte Hornets have a laundry list of draft busts over the course of their existence, but, all things considered, James Bouknight may be the worst of the bunch. The decision to draft him in 2021 was made more regrettable by the fact that Jalen Johnson was picked nine spots later.
Before the regular season began, some player rankings had the Atlanta Hawks' rising star ahead of LaMelo Ball. As it turns out, the idea might not be far-fetched. That's not to say that Johnson is more talented. However, in terms of availability and production so far into the campaign, he has the upper hand.
