Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe is keeping name in NBA Draft. Could he land with Hornets?

Arthur Kaluma didn’t need a crash course on the 6-foot-9 guy who was also a part of the Charlotte Hornets’ latest pre-draft workout, showcasing their skills in a gym full of personnel evaluators Wednesday.

Kaluma, a 21-year-old forward coming off his sophomore season at Creighton, already had a pretty good read on Oscar Tshiebwe and the credentials of the Kentucky product.

“Everybody knows Oscar,” Kaluma said. “He’s a workhorse. He was good today, setting the screens and coming up to the screens with pace and rolling with pace. It just makes the decision so much easier as a guard to just hit the pocket passer.
