With the 2023 NBA draft order now set, all eyes look to which top prospects will land where and one player addressed rumors that he isn’t a fan of his potential landing spot.
Victory Wembanyama is all but a lock to go No. 1 to the Spurs, putting the Hornets’ choice at No. 2 under a microscope. Most mock drafts have either Scoot Henderson, who plays for the G League’s Ignite, or Alabama’s Brandon Miller as the second-best player in the draft. But since Charlotte already has a point guard in LaMelo Ball and is in need of a wing-like Miller, Henderson isn’t expected to go No. 2. But it ticks him off that people don’t think two point guards can work in a backcourt.
“It kind of does, honestly,” Henderson said, per The Charlotte Observer. “I love seeing the two point guards. I love seeing that in action, actually. Jordan Poole and [Steph] Curry and how they used to operate in their time. I love seeing two good guards. It’s fun to watch.
