The Charlotte Hornets arguably made more out of their draft day assets than any team in the league on Thursday. They acquired Mason Plumlee and moved up 20 spots in the second round to do so. They took a consensus top seven or eight pick in James Bouknight at 11, then traded a future mid to late first round pick to get Kai Jones at 19. They then took a couple of big swings on potential in the second round on JT Thor and Scottie Lewis.
All of that wheeling and dealing has the Hornets perfectly set up for free agency, which opens tomorrow.
