CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The Charlotte Hornets have selected swingman Juan Vaulet from Argentina with the 39th overall pick in the NBA draft.
The 6-foot-6, 200-pound Vaulet is the first player to be drafted from Argentina since Carlos Delfino in 2003.
He is the first player to be selected directly from the Argentina League since Jorge Gonzalez, a 7-foot-7, 400-pound center who was taken by the Hawks.
The Hornets drafted Frank Kaminsky with their ninth overall pick earlier Thursday night, the third straight year they have used their first-round selection on a power forward from the Big Ten.
