#5: Charlotte Hornets select Stephon Castle 

The Hornets drop two spots here, but still find a high-upside player who is a nice fit in the backcourt with LaMelo Ball. 

The Hornets, like the Chicago Bulls, need to get their Ball brother healthy to have any chance next season, but if he is, adding a player like Castle would be a big help. 

Castle has a chance to be an elite defender on the perimeter, has a non-stop motor and comes from a winning program, attributes that the Hornets need. 

He could take the tough defensive assignments and some of the ball handling duties off of Ball and give them some defensive toughness in the backcourt.
