Bryant was chosen as the 13th overall draft pick by the Charlotte Hornets in 1996.

Nevertheless, the Charlotte Hornets selected Bryant, seeing that there was a chance to trade with the Lakers. On July 1, 1996, then L.A. general manager Jerry West traded his starting center, Vlade Divac, to the Hornets in exchange for Bryant's draft rights.
