A surprise free-agent signing, Al Jefferson came with a large paycheck and high expectations. While Charlotte has not become a power in the East, Jeffersonone, on his part, has certainly done his part to make the team as competitive as possible. In his first season with Charlotte, he averaged a double-double and made Third Team All-NBA, finishing eighth in MVP voting.

That was Jefferson's best year with Charlotte, though his second season was still decent, with the Center averaging 16.9 Points per Game, but his play dropped off aferward and he would leave for Indiana in the 2016 off-season.
