The Hornets will enter the draft holding two first-round selections: their original lottery pick that landed 14th and the 18th pick originally owned by the Orlando Magic. The latter was acquired from the Phoenix Suns at the 2025 trade deadline alongside Jusuf Nurkić and was ultimately conveyed because it became the least favorable of the four picks originally owned by Orlando, Phoenix, the Washington Wizards, and the Memphis Grizzlies.[1][2] Their 2026 second-round pick, originally traded to the New York Knicks in 2021, is expected to be used by the Sacramento Kings in the draft after Charlotte's first-round picks from 2022 to 2025 failed to convey due to lottery protections as they consistently missed the playoffs, triggering its conversion into a second-round pick instead.[3]
