The Charlotte Hornets are ready to make a splash in the 2023 NBA Draft. This year, they have the No. 2 overall pick, set to make a franchise-altering move after many years of failures.
Following the sale of the Hornets, the team will go through a lot of changes, but as of right now, Michael Jordan is still in charge. So much so that the team’s GM revealed the six-time NBA champion will have the final word on who they draft tomorrow night.
Michael Jordan will have the final say of who the #Hornets select at No. 2, Kupchak said.

Rod Boone adds more words from Kupchak, who has been in the trenches with MJ for many years. The executive reveals that he and Jordan don’t always agree on everything, but they’ve learned how to work together.
But Jordan's opinion isn't the total end game. "He's always, at the end of the day, deferred to me," Kupchak said. "I can't think of too many times that we weren't on the same page."

Before he leaves the team and gives the keys to the car to Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall, Jordan will make the final decisions on the future of the team. The Hornets can build something great starting this year, and the selection they make this Thursday will play a big role in what they can achieve next.
Brandon Miller Reportedly Impressed Jordan During His Workouts
According to recent rumors, the GOAT saw Brandon Miller in his private workouts and was impressed by the Alabama standout. The Hornets have more options ahead of the draft, including Scoot Henderson, one of the most exciting players of this draft class.
Another option for the team would be trading for Zion Williamson or Brandon Ingram, but the Pelicans are reportedly not interested in sending their young stars somewhere else. Many changes could happen leading up to the draft, especially for the Hornets.
Michael Jordan has earned a reputation for making bad decisions on draft night. Hopefully, this can be the difference for the Hornets and Jordan, who are entering a new era. Miller, Henderson, or even Williamson, we’ll have to wait to see what the Hornets do with their No. 2 overall pick.
