NBA insider Jake Fischer recently revealed<\/a> which direction the Charlotte Hornets<\/a> could possibly go in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft. According to Fischer, Charlotte is almost certain to select a big man in the first round. “There’s a growing expectation that the Hornets will come away with a center at No. 18 if they don’t use No. 14 on a big man.” When it pertains to a center, many mock drafts have linked the Hornets to Morez Johnson Jr.<\/a> (Michigan) and Hannes Steinbach (Washington).<\/p>\n

Fischer also indicated that there is speculation surrounding the Hornets and prospects expected to fall in the middle of the first round, those being Cameron Carr (Baylor) and Bennett Stirtz<\/a> (Iowa). Carr would give Charlotte versatility on the wing, having averaged 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.9 steals with Baylor. Stirtz, on the other hand, is a sure-handed point guard prospect who could be used in a backup role if the Hornets were unable to re-sign<\/a> recent trade acquisition Coby White<\/a>.<\/p>\n
