POLL: Which realistic player do you want the Hornets to take with the #11 draft pick?

Hornets Draft Pick Poll

The NBA Draft is just a little over a week away and the Charlotte Hornets hold the #11 pick for the second consecutive year. Lottery picks have not been the nicest to the Hornets since the Bobcats expansion in 2004, and fans are hoping to finally draft an all-star player or steal at the #11 slot. With Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell taking the league by storm after being picked #13 last year, the Hornets hope to finally find a quality player in the late lottery.

 

Any player can slide down and be available for the Hornets at #11, but the best players that will realistically still be available are Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lonnie Walker, Miles Bridges, Mikal Bridges and Collin Sexton.

 

Who should the Hornets take?
