The Charlotte Hornets draft third overall and would like to select James Wiseman and would consider trading up for him.

Both the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors are open to trading down from No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. The Hornets could offer the 32nd overall pick and future selections. 

Cody Zeller is the only center on Charlotte's roster signed for 20-21 as he enters the final season of his four-year, $56 million deal.

Anthony Edwards is considered the backup plan if Wiseman isn't available to the Hornets.

The Golden State Warriors and Charlotte Hornets are believed to prefer James Wiseman.

The Warriors select No. 2 with the Hornets at No. 3, which means Charlotte could need to trade up with either the Minnesota Timberwolves or Golden State to select him.

Kevin O'Connor suggests the cost of moving up could be similar to when the Philadelphia 76ers traded No. 3 and a future first from the Sacramento Kings to the Boston Celtics for No. 1, which became the Markelle Fultz for Jayson Tatum trade.

Wiseman entered the draft season as the top rated prospect but he played in just three games at Memphis.

Derrick Jones Jr. will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason with the Miami Heat expected to receive competition from rival teams on the open market.

Jones averaged 8.5 points, four rebounds and one steal in 23.3 minutes per game.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks are among the teams expected to pursue Jones.
