Summary
Charlotte Hornets shock the NBA world with a bold draft move—taking point guard Labaron Philon Jr. at 14, despite needing big men. The 20-year-old Alabama standout dazzled with 22 points, 5 assists, and elite shooting splits, drawing comparisons to Dejounte Murray and Rajon Rondo. Analyst Jonathan Wasserman’s mock draft even has Charlotte addressing their frontcourt later at 18 with center Hannes Steinbach. A risky but potentially game-changing pick—if Philon Jr. falls that far, he could be a steal. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
