Nata Edwards on Hornets Draft Options | Edgecombe vs. Johnson Debate HEATS UP | Ace Bailey SLIPPING?

The Hornets slide to the 4th pick in the NBA Draft, and the debate between VJ Edgecombe and Tre Johnson is heating up. Doug shares his insider combine notes and weighs in on how each player fits the Charlotte Hornets' DNA.

The Hornets once again face draft night disappointment, dropping to the 4th pick—but that doesn’t mean there’s no hope. On today’s episode of Locked On Hornets, Walker and Doug are joined by Nada Edwards to break down what the lottery result means for Charlotte’s future. Could VJ Edgecombe’s defensive mindset and maturity make him the perfect fit alongside LaMelo and Brandon? Or does Tre Johnson’s shooting and confidence give him the edge in this heated draft debate?

Doug shares behind-the-scenes insights from his time at the NBA Draft Combine, including what Edgecombe and Johnson had to say about their potential fit with the Hornets. Which player sounded more like a future Hornet? What red flags might be lurking behind all that confidence? And could Ace Bailey really slide to No. 5?

Plus, the crew discusses which second-round big men could be worth moving up for, why Chaz Lanier and Maxime Raynaud are rising up boards, and what the Hornets’ cap flexibility means for building a real team around their young stars.

Get ready for the early stages of Hornets Draft Mania—it’s Edgecombe vs. Johnson vs. Bailey, and we’re just getting started.
