#9 Charlotte Hornets: Frank Kaminsky, PF/C, Wisconsin

Frank Kaminsky – the National Collegiate Player of the year coming out of Wisconsin has a great offensive game, but it’s important to find what works for him and what doesn’t. He wants to prove people wrong about him, and he has the tools to do so. Great shooter, excellent foot work, takes advantage of his seven foot body on offensive, great at switching hands and getting to the basket. While he isn’t explosive or quick, his high basketball IQ allowed him to detect his defensive match-up and ways to get by him or create and open look for him or another teammate – this is critical when it comes to translating his game to the NBA. Kaminsky will have to add strength to get more boards and help him win box outs, as he has the ability to put up multiple double-double seasons, but finished his senior year at Wisconsin averaging just under 10 rebounds per game. Strength and athleticism are the big questions in Kaminsky’s game, but if he can even improve them just a bit, it could make him more successful.
