2021 NBA Draft mock: Golden State Warriors secure top-10 pick
By Tony Pesta
10 – Orlando Magic select James Bouknight
Another pick for the Orlando Magic, this time they look to add talent on the wing with James Bouknight.
Bouknight posted nearly 20 points and 6 rebounds a night as a sophomore for UConn and can round out the Magic’s lineup. He’s a strong finisher with a high-ceiling as a defender. He has some work to do on his outside shot but can blossom into a 3-and-D prospect with some work.
11 – Charlotte Hornets select Keon Johnson
The Charlotte Hornets are finally making strides towards becoming a playoff contender once again. LaMelo Ball had an elite rookie year while names such as Malik Monk, Mikal Bridges, Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward ensure they will be competitive next year.
Adding Keon Johnson to this rotation is an easy move to bring more depth on the wing. He’s a lackluster shooter but a quality defender and will run in transition for plenty of easy looks with Ball running the show.
