The very slim one percent chance that the Charlotte Hornets had to land the NBA's No. 1 pick didn't come to fruition, but the Hornets will still be picking in the lottery, selecting 12th overall on June 20.
Who Charlotte will pick is the biggest question, but another thought that comes to mind is how successful have players chosen 12th panned out?
Since the first NBA Draft in 1950, only seven No. 12 picks have been named All-Stars.
The most notable No. 12 selection is Julius "Dr. J" Erving, who was named MVP in the 1981 season and is looked upon as one of the greatest players in NBA history.
Last season, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Michigan State forward Miles Bridges. The Hornets then swapped their 11th pick with the Clippers for Bridges.
Bridges averaged 7.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game his rookie year.
Charlotte has selected 12th just once in their history. In 2009, the-then Bobcats selected Duke shooting guard Gerald Henderson.
Henderson spent six seasons with the Bobcats/Hornets and averaged a career-best 15.5 points per game in 2012, but Henderson never came close to an All-Star caliber player.
Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb was selected 12th in 2013 by the Houston Rockets before being traded to Charlotte two years later. Lamb hasn't been an All-Star player but has been a valuable role player who can likely expect a decent contract this upcoming offseason.
However, the 12th pick hasn't produced an All-Star since 1989.
Steven Adams (2013) is arguably the best player chosen at 12 over the last 30 years. Even Adams took a few years to break out.
