Catch up on all of Old North Banter’s NBA Draft Coverage

The 2019 NBA Draft was an active one for North Carolina sports fans. Between six local players being drafted and the Hornets making three picks, it was easy to find something to pay attention to throughout the night. Add in former N.C. State star T.J. Warren being drafted, former recruit Jalen Lecque and several others signing undrafted free agent deals, and there was almost too much to keep track of.

Here’s a recap of all the draft coverage from Old North Banter:

Zion Williamson became the next NBA superstar after being drafted No. 1 overall

The Hornets selected a developing scorer in PJ Washington in the first round

The Hornets then doubled down on forwards in the second round

All of this added up to a very meh draft for Charlotte

The Trail Blazers got the steal of the draft in Nassir Little

The Bulls got a perfect fit in Coby White

The Suns, however, reached on Cam Johnson at No. 11

Warren was traded from Phoenix to Indiana, and was the winner of the 2019 Draft

Overshadowed but not forgotten, R.J. Barrett landed with the Knicks

The drafting of Cam Reddish means that the Hawks won the Luka Doncic trade
