The Charlotte Hornets held a pre-draft workout for Koa Peat earlier this week. Peat, a versatile forward from Arizona, averaged 14.1 points and 5.6 rebounds last season. Despite being projected as a late first-round pick, he has faced scrutiny over his recent performance, including shooting struggles at the NBA Draft Combine.
