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.
