As the NBA Draft rapidly approaches, Jeff Peterson and the Charlotte Hornets are playing their cards close to their vest. Persistent rumors of desiring VJ Edgecombe quickly gave way to a rumored love affair for Kon Knueppel, which have evaporated into a growing groundswell of interest in landing Ace Bailey in the Queen City.
It's dizzying, and the non-stop rumors have fans of the Hornets scrambling around their living rooms like Charlie Day trying to put the pieces of a conspiracy theory together.
Amidst all of the pre-draft chaos, one name that continues to rise up draft boards has rarely been linked to Charlotte: Tre Johnson.
