11. Charlotte Hornets: Lonnie Walker, SG, Miami

The Hornets need everything they can get. For the second straight season, they have a huge payroll and still missed the playoffs, leading to a late lottery pick. Malik Monk, last years selection, wasn’t as good as he was at Kentucky. Walker is a very good ball handler. His shot is iffy and he doesn’t always apply himself on defense. With seven front court players, Charlotte could use some guard help. Lonnie Walker isn’t the flashiest player, but could help the Hornets make the playoffs again.
