Who knows - draft profiles say Lewis is an elite athlete with the tools to be a lockdown defender, averaged over 1.5 steals a game.

Scottie Lewis is actually a solid pick. A very solid one. Mostly on the defensive side tho. I would have MUCH rather had some of the others but there is always summer league invites

I would have taken Sims and just make Thor, Sims, Carey, and Richards battle it out for the two spots

We're a significantly more athletic team than we were yesterday. Scottie Lewis is one of the best athletes in this draft.

Neither selection will make it onto the floor next season. These were futures picks, for which oversized and underskilled fits exactly with what the Hornets were going after. And this is just what the G-league was built for.

I think we did pretty well overall

11 - Bouknight - I would have taken Primo

19 - Jones - I would have taken Sims

37 - Thor - I would have taken Butler

56 - Lewis - I would have taken Pickett

TBH this guy has very, very little credibility with me personally - so I don't buy into anything that he puts out.
