In this episode of Locked On Hornets, Walker Mehl and Doug Branson discuss the upcoming NBA draft and the anxiety surrounding the potential choices for the Charlotte Hornets. They delve into the decision-making process involving Michael Jordan, who is reportedly working out and holding final meetings with prospects Brandon Miller and Scott Henderson. The hosts talk about Jordan's reduced role as the majority owner of the Hornets and how his impact on the draft will be significant as the team faces one of the most crucial decisions in its history.

The conversation then shifts to the sale of the majority stake of the team by Michael Jordan, sparking concerns about the franchise's future in Charlotte. While the odds of the team moving are low, the possibility cannot be ruled out, especially with new owners lacking North Carolina connections. The hosts also discuss the character arc of Jordan and his community involvement during his tenure, hoping for improvements under the new ownership. They wrap up the episode by sharing their thoughts on the potential draft picks and how Vegas odds are shifting between Miller and Henderson, causing much debate among Hornets fans.
