CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Hornets were given the No. 4 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft in Monday's draft lottery. The Dallas Mavericks won the top pick. The Hornets finished the 2024-25 season with a 19-63 record, which is the third worst in the NBA. Only the Utah Jazz (17-65) and Washington Wizards (18-64) posted worse records.

Charlotte was tied with the Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards with a 14% chance to earn the No. 1 overall pick, and the three teams finished 4-5-6 in the draft order. The fall to No. 4 continues a historic stretch of bad luck for the Hornets in the draft lottery.
