Charlotte sent veteran backup point guard Ish Smith, second-year forward Vernon Carey Jr. and 2023 second-round draft pick, which is top-45 protected, to the Wizards.Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak has been looking to add a center who can score and defend for quite some time. Harrell is 6-foot-7, but has a 7-foot-4 wingspan and he’s expected to play both power forward and center.
