Arriving in Charlotte as a two-time All-Star, Kelly Tripucka finished his career as a Hornet and did so with some impressive offensive numbers as he would average 22.6 Points per Game in his first season in Charlotte. He would decline quickly, but he provided the scoring threat in the inaugural season that Hornets fans craved.
Drafted in the first round out of Duke, Gerald Henderson spent his first five seasons in a Charlotte uniform. Henderson would become a decent enough scorer, but his overall game did not develop strongly enough with the Hornets to have a higher ranking.  He averaged 12 Points per game for Charlotte.
While D.J. Augustin has shown flashes of brilliance over his career, it has always been countered with ample mistakes. Still, when he was on, Augustin showcased solid shooting, especially from the free throw line as a Bobcat (he would finish in the top ten in the NBA three times in Free Throw Percentage) and averaged over 10 Points per Game while donning Bobcat orange.
A well-respected Power Forward and product of Old Dominion, Kenny Gattison would be one of the more tenured players in Charlotte history, playing 390 of his near 500 Games with the Hornets. Gattison was not the best player on his team, but his natural leadership and desire to the little things that didn’t show up on a stat sheet made him an asset to his team.
