It’s a little late in the game, but let’s give this a shot. [We did this a couple of years ago](https://atthehive.com/2023/06/01/at-the-hive-community-mock-draft-charlotte-hornets/), and it was a fun exercise. Here’s how it works:
* If you want to participate, you volunteer to represent a team
* Once all the teams are accounted for, we’ll start making picks in the comment section. If you don’t check back with a day or two, I’ll pick on your behalf to keep the draft moving
* When the Hornets are on the clock, we’ll hold a community vote to determine the selection
* The Hornets last pick is 34th overall. We’ll stop there since there’s no point in continuing the exercise beyond that point.
The draft is 16 days away. I think we can pull this off if we get good participation.
If you want to represent a team, drop it in the comments and I’ll put you on the signup list below. If there are still teams up for grabs on Tuesday, people can ask for seconds.
We’re not going to have reps for several teams. The Cavaliers, Pistons, Warriors, Lakers, Grizzlies, Bucks, Knicks, and Kings don’t pick until after the Hornets final pick. The Nuggets don’t have pick at all. The Mavericks only have one pick, and it’s first overall, so everyone already knows who they’re picking. I went ahead and claimed the 76ers since I think their pick is somewhat a foregone conclusion as well and no one is gonna sign up for that unless they want to throw a wrench in everything.
As for the other 18 teams, have at it.
