Busy Hornets select Williams, trade Duren in NBA draft

June 23, 2022 by Fox 46

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets drafted two centers in the first round of the NBA draft — trading one away and keeping the other.

The Hornets selected Memphis center Jalen Duren with the 13th overall pick before trading the pick away to the New York Knicks, said a person familiar with the deal.

This is the best deal we have seen for the Hornets, thus far. https://t.co/j7zZa7xOyO

The Hornets then used the 15th pick on Duke 7-foot-2 center Mark Williams, who they hope will become a big man who can fix some of the team’s biggest woes in the middle.
