18. Eddie Jones
Eddie Jones was already a certified star from his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he went to two All-Star Games; however, as a member of the Charlotte Hornets, Jones made his third All-Star appearance and posted his best scoring numbers and PER.  He also led the NBA in Steals per Game (2.7 in 1999-2000), and was third in Defensive Player of the Year voting that year; the highest finish of his career.

He was only with Charlotte for 102 Games, but he made them count!
