Players that were here short-term but feel like Hornet cornerstones..

[bLACKpANTHER]

With Trez signing with the 76ers - I thought he was a kinda a bigger part of the team, even though we only had him for a few months. Maybe it was his Carolina roots but it got me thinking who else was on a Hornets/Bobcats rosters for just a cup of coffee, but felt like lifelong guys...?

Hornets Greats
Mugsy - Zo - Grandmama - Dell
Rice - Baron - G-Force - Kemba

Short Stint but felt like longer
Captain Jack (2/17 years)
Al Jefferson (3/14 years)
Linsanity (1/10 years)
Marvin Williams (6/16 years)
Lamb (4/11 years)
Felton (5/16 years)
Batum (5/14 years)

 

anyone I'm missing?

Jason Richardson, was only here for a season and a few games, but he had the second best year of his career (2007) here in Charlotte.

Jamaal Mashburn as well, was only here for two years, but outside of his early years in Dallas, his best years were in Charlotte.

Maybe Vlade, David Wesley, Okafor (either for himself as the first Bobcats pick or because he wasn't Dwight Howard).

Byron Mullens…man, was that tough to watch.

Eddie Jones and Jamal Mashburn definitely. They are always the first guys I think about when think about the Hornets aside from Baron Davis and Kemba.

Don’t be hating on my man Byron.

Not quite the same but Corey Maggette and Ben Gordon. 

Basically the entire Bobcats era minus Wallace and Kemba.

He had one of the better in game dunks that I’ve seen from a Hornets player throughout the teams history.

His dunk over Aldridge was wild for a big guy.

Kobe.  Other than that, Glen Rice (3 years), PJ Brown (2 years), Elden Campbell (~3.5 years), Robert Parrish (2 years), Kendall Gill (4 years), Matt Geiger (3 years), Jamaal Magloire (2 years - left with the franchise for NO).  I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.
