As we sit hear in anticipation of July 8, waiting to see if the Hornets will improve the themselves with some solid free agent acquisitions, I thought it was a good opportunity to reflect back on the Hornets' historical drafts and rate who were the best players ever taken by the Bees.

The ground rules are simple:
1. The Hornets had to have drafted the player
2. The quality of the draft pick is evaluated on how the player performed over his NBA career (or career to date), not necessarily his performance for the Hornets
3. The Kobe Bryant draft and trade deal does not count. My reasoning for this is simple: this is my article and I say so!
4. The draft pick is considered for the relative position of the draft pick and who was drafted above and below the pick.
