. . SG. Terrance Ferguson. 11. 170

If Ferguson decided to stay in the NCAA, he could’ve been higher on draft boards, but he shouldn’t fall too far on draft night.

Ferguson joins the draft crop of 2017 as one of the more prolific scorers in the draft. Some even compared his scoring ability to Malik Monk, but due to him playing in Australia, most casual fans of college basketball could never see him in action.

For Charlotte, shooting in the back court is exactly what they need while they could go with a better prospect overall in Markkanen or Collins. They have long-term money dedicated to Miles Plumlee, Cody Zeller, Marvin Williams and Frank Kaminsky.

Ferguson would give the Hornets a guard off the bench who could provide much-need outside shooting.
