Who did the Charlotte Hornets get on draft day?

CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Hornets added four new players in the NBA Draft Thursday night.

After selecting Brandon Miller with the second overall pick, the team stayed busy throughout the night as they selected Nick Smith Jr. from the University of Arkansas in the first round.

Smith spent one season in the college ranks, averaging 12.5 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 25.8 minutes per game.

Charlotte then selected Xavier guard Colby Jones and Washington State forward Mouhamed Gueye with the 34th and 39th picks, respectively. They traded the rights to both players to the Boston Celtics for the draft rights to James Nnaji, the 31st pick. Nnaji, a 6-10 center, has played overseas for the last two years in the Spanish ACB league and EuroLeague.

The Hornets selected Amari Bailey with the 41st pick. Bailey averaged 11.2 points and made the 2022–23 Pac-12 All-Freshman Team in one season in the college ranks.

According to multiple reports, the Hornets signed former Tar Heel and Concord native Leaky Black to a two-way deal after the draft.
