Gordon Hayward was an All-Star in Utah, and was signed by the Boston Celtics in 2017, though he got off to a rocky start when he was injured six minutes into the season and missed the year.  Heyward never matched his production in Boston, but Charlotte hoped for better when they acquired the Forward in a sign-and-trade in 2020.

Hayward averaged 19.4 Points per Game with a 17.5 PER in his first year in Buzz City, but he his stats have declined since, posting still-respectable metrics of 15.9 and 14.7 Points per Game, though his PER dropped under 14 in 2023-24.   He played one more season, though that was split between Charlotte anf OKC, as he was traded midway through the campaign.

He retired afterward.

Taken with the 12^th Overall Pick in 2019, P.J. Washington ventured east from the University of Kentucky to the Charlotte Hornets, the team where he still plies his trade for.

Washington was a Second Team All-Rookie at Power Forward, averaging 12.2 Points per Game, but he did not show much improvement in his sophomore year, with only moderate statistical gains.  Washington lost his permanent starting job in 2021-22, but reclaimed the starter’s role, and had a career-high 15.7 PPG.

In 2023-24, Washington was traded during the season to Dallas (is that farther away from Brittany Renner?), and P.J. would have an overall 13.0 PPG over 304 Games.

Mason Plumlee can be a punchline in some circles, but that should not be the case, as his play at Center has always been solid, though not star-making.

You don’t have to be a star to make it in the NBA, and Plumlee was already an eight-year veteran before he was traded to Charlotte, his fifth NBA team.  A Hornet for 129 Games, Plumlee started them all, averaging 9 Points and 8.6 Rebounds per Game.

Charlotte traded Plumlee to the Los Angeles Clippers for their playoff run in 2023.

1950 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:

Thank you for all of you who have participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, and if you are unaware of what that is, simply, we acted as if the PFHOF had their first class in January of 1946?

We have completed the first two years, where a Preliminary, Semi-Final and Final vote for the 1946 Class, which inducted two full classes

For “1950” a Preliminary Vote with 130 players whose playing career ended by 1943. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, with the top 25 vote getters named as Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters will be asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next after, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.
