The original Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association (NBA) were established in 1988 as an expansion team, based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The team's roster was filled with unprotected players at the 1988 NBA Expansion Draft, and five days later the Hornets made their first picks out of college players at the 1988 NBA Draft. The Hornets remained in Charlotte for 14 seasons before relocating to New Orleans in 2002. The first pick in the Hornets' history was Rex Chapman, a shooting guard from the University of Kentucky.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Where Are They Now?: The 1988-89 Charlotte Hornets )〕 The Hornets had three top-four picks and all of them have participated in the NBA All-Star Game: Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning, and Baron Davis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NBA.com: East at West BoxScore )〕 In 1996, the Hornets drafted Kobe Bryant thirteenth overall, but traded him for Vlade Divac. Bryant is now an MVP, a four-time All-star game MVP, a two-time Finals MVP, a sixteen-time all-star, and a five-time NBA Champion. Two years after the Hornets' departure, the Charlotte Bobcats were established in 2004 as the NBA's 30th team. The Bobcats first participated in the 2004 NBA Draft, two days after their expansion draft was held.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Charlotte Bobcats )〕 The franchise's name was changed back to the Hornets at the conclusion of the 2013–14 season - one year after the team in Louisiana renamed itself the New Orleans Pelicans. The franchise's history and records while in Charlotte would also be returned to its original city. In 1989, the NBA agreed with the National Basketball Players' Association to reduce drafts to two rounds, an arrangement that has remained the same up the present time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evolution of the Draft and Lottery )〕 Before each draft, an NBA Draft Lottery determines the first round selection order for the teams that missed the playoffs during the prior season.〔 Teams can also trade their picks, which means that in some drafts teams may have more or less than two draft picks, although they must have at least one first-round pick every other year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NBA Salary Cap FAQ )〕 The first player picked by the Bobcats, Emeka Okafor, was named the 2004–05 Rookie of the Year.
