My Prediction: Furkan Korkmaz Actual 2016 NBA Draft: Malachi Richardson
At 22, the Charlotte Hornets set their sights on Malachi Richardson, a shooting guard from Syracuse University. While I projected the correct position here, I anticipated the Hornets would select Furkan Korkmaz.
It’s ironic that my mock found this slide of Korkmaz to be the biggest attractor of negative commentary. And yet, on draft night, Korkmaz would slide even further.
The fact that Korkmaz was selected nearby places me back in the positive. I am up to 45.
