"But Jonathan, I'm an avid reader of At the Hive and read your post that said LiAngelo signed with the Hornets and was already heading to the Swarm. Why would they need to use a draft pick on him?" Well apparently there was some rule stuff that made him stay in the G League Draft. Well the Swarm got their guy anyway, taking him with the 14th overall pick, one pick after former Hornets great Lance Stephenson was taken by the Nuggets G League affiliate.
The other four players drafted by the Swarm:
Chudier Bile
Tyree White
Ikenna Ndugba
Isaiah Blackmon
