Unexpected and shocking: a player for Hornets is confirmed dead.

The Charlotte Hornets are expected to be in the running for a top choice in the NBA Draft for a second straight year as a result of injuries that have prevented them from having a competitive team.

According to a recent mock draft by Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman, the Hornets will select Colorado small forward Cody Williams.

Cody Williams left the game with a high note after recording two straight games with 21 points and

a 67.7 true shooting percentage in seven games due to a wrist injury.Since he possesses a highly sought-after big-wing archetype and has demonstrated efficiency and productivity, evaluators have temporarily positioned him in the same league as the top predicted NCAA picks until his return.

Williams still has more to prove because of the short sample size, weaker opposition, and low volume three-point statistics (6-of-10). For a projected perimeter player, he doesn’t take many jump shots and may be careless with the ball.
