A two-time Third Team All-NBA player and one-time All-Star when he was playing for the New Jersey Nets, Derrick Coleman still had a lot left in the tank when he arrived to Charlotte in his early 30’s. Coleman no longer had a double-double average, but could still explode for great games on both ends of the court.
