Mike Dunlap said the Bobcats are taking a “hybrid thinking” approach to the draft, which means evaluating the talent available at No. 2 while simultaneously considering trading down.

“I think anybody in our situation would have that on the board,” Dunlap said. “(Our) people are very smart up top. So options and thinking of your variables is a very smart thing to do.”

Charlotte is also looking to acquire an outside shooter.

“The ability to make the three is important because it allows you to play inside the 3-point line,” Dunlap said. “What happens is a defense collapses and it gets crowded in there. I would say that is safe to say that we need to do that. And we need to do a better job with our spacing, too. But as far as the roster goes it’s always nice to have guys who can shoot a basketball.”
