The kid from Huntersville had a hometown pre-draft workout this weekend with the Charlotte Hornets. 

North Carolina forward Luke Maye, the hero of UNC's 2017 title run, isn't projected to be selected in June's NBA Draft, but Maye has continued to receive opportunities to prove his value with NBA teams and G-League teams.

Maye was named to the 2018-19 All-ACC Third Team and is coming off a season averaging 14.9 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. 

Listed at 6-foot-8, 240 pounds, Maye recently competed in the NBA G-League showcase and said he is hoping that his underrated defensive skill set will help NBA teams take a chance on him. 

Maye spoke with reporters after Saturday's workout.
