NBA Mock Draft: Pick #13

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Duke / Charlotte Hornets. Mark Williams. 13. Center. player. 170

It’s hard to say what the Hornets will do here, as they have gotten better the last few seasons but are still on the fringes of the playoffs and just fired their coach.

They already have a couple of young bigs, but PJ Washington could be traded this offseason and Kai Jones is more of a high flying rim runner.

Williams would give Charlotte a more skilled big man to put down low, where he has an impressive and efficient offensive game.

Williams would give Charlotte some much-needed size and a skilled big to work with LaMelo Ball in the pick and roll.
