Round 1 - Pick 16 - Charlotte Hornets

[KW]

draft team selction:

Daron Holmes II

[emplep7]

Should be a solid big man

[Jestor]

One of the three options I was considering at 15. Really solid all-around game, but has some durability, consistency, and discipline issues that ultimately eliminated him from consideration. Could stand to get a little fatter, too.

[mgtr81]

Excellent big man who rebounds, defends and is efficient on offense. He went later than I expected.

[rh0xxy]

Great pick here. Solid big man who can do it all with efficiency.

[GreenBear]

The more I scouted him, the more I liked him. No weaknesses and has a very high floor of being a 6th man on a playoff team. Rebounds well, can score and defend. Checks all the boxes.

[KW]

I think Holmes will be a wonderful complementary big to play off of Jovic. He's efficient around the basket and scores with some good volume, rebounds well, and a quality defender with room to grow as a shot blocker. Likes to get to the line and hits his FTs. Holmes can step out and hit a ATB 3 as well.
