Ok…let us begin with the obvious.

Dwight Howard was a first ballot Hall of Famer, and he should be.

While he only spent one season with the Charlotte Hornets, and it was clear that his star wasn’t shining like it used to, the fact was that Howard’s lone season was still pretty good, although it was not good enough to propel Charlotte to the postseason.

Still, for a franchise as young as the Charlotte Hornets, Howard’s contributions in his one season in Charlotte would see him still produce a double-double season and finish third overall in Rebounds per Game.

While this might be reduced from what he has done previously, it was still decent enough to showcase a run that is worthy of this list.
