Welcome back to Far-Fetched Friday, where every Friday we give you a bold prediction that we believe will come to fruition. This Friday we look at that one basketball team in North Carolina.
Having the 3rd overall pick in the draft, Charlotte will be able to pick the remaining player from the consensus top-3 in the draft (LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, and James Wiseman.) While none of those players are a sure hit, they all have star potential in their own right. Regardless of which player they choose to draft, their free agent goal should be the same: aggressively pursue young players with legitimate talent.
The Hornets should be willing to throw out money to guys like Christian Wood, Fred VanVleet, and Brandon Ingram (who will likely have any offer made be matched by his current team, the New Orleans Pelicans, but is still worth a shot.)
