"Actually, it's fun because I can actually hold him and play with him, and I’m having fun watching him," Jordan said.

What will Michael Jordan and Charlotte Hornets do with their No. 2 pick in 2023 draft?
Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Hornets have the second overall pick in this year's draft. The Hornets have three options ahead of the draft, which comes at a key time for the franchise. There were rumors of Jordan looking to sell the team earlier this season.
Charlotte's first option is to select Scoot Henderson, who's widely considered the second-best prospect, behind Victor Wembanyama. The second option is picking Brandon Miller, who would be a better fit alongside LaMelo Ball.
However, there's a third option: trade the No. 2 pick for a top star. The New Orleans Pelicans are rumored to be interested in moving up. If the Pelicans make Zion Williamson available, the Hornets' front office would gladly take him up despite his injury history and recent baby mama drama.
