The first incarnation of the Charlotte Hornets had some good moments and memorable players, but they had an athletic Point Guard named Baron Davis, whose career and contributions to the sport are yet to receive their proper due.
A Pac-10 Freshman of the Year at UCLA, Davis was the third overall pick in199y by the Charlotte Hornets, and he was their starting Point Guard as an NBA sophomore. Davis blossomed over the next five years, where his athletic leap and strong defense consistently put him in the top ten in Assists and Steals while still scoring in bunches when needed.
Twice an All-Star with the Hornets, Davis was a Third-Team All-NBA Selection in 2003-04, and while that was his peak, it can easily be imagined that if Davis was with a better team, his trophy case would be fuller. His Assists and steals numbers speak for themselves.
