3 Prospects Hornets Should Target in Second Round of 2024 NBA Draft
3. Jonathan Mogbo, San Francisco
Mogbo isn’t going to help with 3-point shooting (he attempted two in his two-year collegiate career), but he was an extremely efficient scorer in close – averaging 63.6% from the field last season.
He also might still have a lot of room to grow. After transferring from Missouri State after one season, Mogbo averaged a double-double in his lone year at San Francisco while being a big part of the offense.
Jonathan Mogbo is one of the most unique prospects in this NBA Draft.

What he's good at, he's GREAT at. And what he isn't is a non-factor, which I take almost as a positive. Shooting isn't a net negative because he just won't. More questions than concerns - overall, I'm a fan💪 pic.twitter.com/9MgJRfKtfY
He averaged 3.6 assists per game (doubling his amount of turnovers) and his fit couldn’t be much better aside from his shooting.
"“Makes good rotations as a help defender and can come up with the occasional strong weakside rejection (28 blocks this season) … Makes hustle plays and isn’t afraid of contact which gives him easy projections to be the ‘junkyard dog’ in a team's rotation.”"

Fit: Charlotte isn’t expected to bring Miles Bridges back and there isn’t a strong option on the roster to replace him in the starting lineup. Mogbo could help fill the void, at least partially, and his ability to rebound while also being an offensive weapon is hard to come by.
