Minnesota Timberwolves: Mock Draft 3.0, Full Two Rounds
Scouting Report. 8. 170. Pick Analysis. Small Forward. Florida State. Devin Vassell. player
The Charlotte Hornets need talent. Miles Bridges has been underperforming expectations and pales in comparisons to what they passed on/traded away in order to select him (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Michael Porter, Troy Brown).
Devin Vassell is a consistent wing prospect that should be able to make an impact on both ends of the floor almost immediately. Vassell has the athleticism and upside to become a really good starter during the peak of his career, but also have a 3-and-D role as a rookie. Alongside both Devonte’ Graham and PJ Washington, that skill set could be very valuable, especially to a Charlotte team that has very little wing/forward depth.
The Hornets have passed on so much talent over the past three years (Donovan Mitchell, Bam Adebayo in 2018, the aforementioned Gilgeous-Alexander, Porter, and Brown in 2019), but things are finally starting to look up. The team still should be plenty bad in 2020-21, but their future is looking brighter since Kemba Walker left for Boston.
