The Charlotte Hornets landed the 12th overall pick in the NBA Draft coming up on June 20. Now the question is who will they pick?
After the lottery, we took a look at which players sports media outlets were projecting to be drafted by Charlotte. Now, two days before the draft, we take another look.
There is one player, in particular, that is very popular with many mock drafts for the Hornets.

June 17, 2019 Los Angeles Times: Jaxson Hayes, C Texas
In 2019, Jaxson Hayes shot 85.4% at the rim on 123 attempts. Since 2008, that's the third most efficient season at the rim (min 100 attempts) behind 2012 Anthony Davis and 2018 Doral Moore. He's obviously raw but his rim finishing+ft% give some hope for shooting upside. pic.twitter.com/qyGFnXfGms
