Hornets trade for No. 40, select Nebraska’s Bryce McGowens

Charlotte trades two future second-round picks to acquire No. 40.

The Charlotte Hornets were wheeling and dealing during Thursday night’s NBA draft.

Following trading the No. 13 pick to the Pistons in a three-team deal, the Hornets traded back into the second-round.

Charlotte acquired pick No. 40 from the Minnesota Timberwolves to select Nebraska’s Bryce McGowens. The Hornets sent two future second-round picks in return to the Timberwolves.

In his freshman season at Nebraska, McGowens averaged 16.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

McGowens adds a potential role player and wing depth off the bench for the Hornets.
