Nicolas Batum proved to be a solid acquisition for the Charlotte Hornets, whom they acquired from Portland.  The product of France has shown a decent scoring ability as he has averaged 12.8 Points per Game, which includes a 15.1 PPG season in the 2015-16 seacareer-higher high.  Batum's defensive abilities don't always go noticed outside of Charlotte but it should as that has been some of the better attributes of his game.  He played for Charlotte until the end of the 2019-20 Season, after which he joined the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Sixth Man of the 2005 NCAA North Carolina Tar Heels Championship Team and former 2nd Pick Overall would sign with the Charlotte Hornets nine years after his collegiate glory.  Williams was not a star in his six seasons in Charlotte, but he was a dependable player who had three 10-plus Points per Game years.  His run in Charlotte ended when he was waived and joined Milwaukee for their 2020 playoff run.

At one point in time, Shabazz Muhammad was a top three prospect but that would not be the career he would have in the NBA.  Drafted 14th in 2013 by Utah and arriving on a draft day trade, Muhammad saw limited playing time for Minnesota as a rookie but he looked to be a star on the rise in his second pro year.  He played 38 Games before a hand injury forced him out and he would have a PER of 19.5 with a 13.5 Points per Game Average.  He averaged 10.5 Points per Game the year after but he regressed offensively and his defense was never good.  The T-Wolves would release him during the 2017/18 season.
