#6: Charlotte Hornets take Rob Dillingham 

This may be a strange choice for a team that already has LaMelo Ball, but Dillingham can play both on and off the ball and gives them another floor spreader. 

He can also be staggered with Ball and is a good fit with their wings, so even though it may be redundant, Dillingham is different enough from Ball that the two can complement each other and he also gives Charlotte insurance against Ball's injury problems.

The Hornets get more dynamic offensively and will spend the rest of their offseason looking for rim protectors and wing defenders to go with Ball, Miller and Dillingham.
