Jakucionis, who previously played for Barcelona in Spain, is one of the best young guards in college basketball. He is averaging 16.4 points as well as 5.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game while shooting 41.4 percent on 3-pointers for Illinois.

The Charlotte Hornets have their sights set on a blend of athleticism and upside in Jonathan Wasserman's latest two-round NBA mock draft. The team addresses potential needs with selections like the high-flying VJ Edgecombe and the skilled playmaker Sergio De Larrea.
