The Hornets decided to take shooting guard Adam Haluska in the 2nd round with the 43rd pick in the NBA Draft.  The 6′5″, 210 pound Haluska played for both Iowa State and Iowa in college.  Haluska played in 129 games in college and he averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game.  He also is a decent shooter as he’s hit 42.4% from the floor, 36% from the three point range and 83.7% from the free throw line.  Haluska will likely back up Stojakovic at shooting guard as a rookie.

The Hornets will probably move Peja Stojakovic to shooting guard to make room in the starting lineup for their first round pick, small forward Julian Wright.  Wright is a good rebounder and a very active defender so he should fit right in with the Hornets.  Wright has nice size at 6′8″, 225 pounds and he’s a good all-around basketball player.  Wright played in 71 games for Kansas and he averaged 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocked shots per game.  Wright shot 55.5% from the floor and only 59.1% from the free throw line which he will need to improve on.  Look for Wright to start from Day #1 for the Hornets.
