#6: Charlotte Hornets select Stephon Castle 

Like the Pistons, the Hornets have been bad for so long and are not getting bailed out in the draft. 

Castle makes sense for them, as they need a tough defender on the perimeter even if Castle thinks he’s a point guard. 

He can be the secondary playmaker next to LaMelo but also add some insurance against another Ball injury. Castle is a nice third piece to go with Ball and Miller.
