While Matt Carroll was not one of the most productive players in NBA history (realistically, expansion got him a job with Charlotte), Carroll does have one of the longer tenures (serving two stints) with the franchise. He was known for his work ethic as a player, making the most for what he had and you knew he was never going to make a mistake due to apathy.
Nicknamed "Big Handsome", Cody Zeller completed his first eight seasons with Charlotte, before signing with Portland as a Free Agent in 2021.

While Zeller will never be confused for a flashy player, he has proven to be certainly capable and is often praised for his unselfishness and dedication to team play.  A cerebral player, Zeller rarely makes mistakes and his likability often hides the fact that maybe he hasn't reached the level that should be expected of a fourth overall pick, though he did rove himself as an asset, posting three double-digit years in Points.

He played 467 Games with Charlotte.
While the Slovenian seven footer may not have been a huge star in the National Basketball Association, Primoz Brezec did have a couple of decent campaigns with Charlotte where he averaged over 10 Points per Game. A selection in the expansion draft, Brezec enjoyed the most minutes of his career, but beyond his first two seasons as a Bobcat, Brezec didn’t accomplish much else in North American basketball.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was the Second Overall Pick in 2012, and the NCAA Champion from Kentucky came in with lofty expectations.

MKG had seen a marginal improvement from his rookie season (where he was a Second Team All-Rookie selection), however, a shoulder injury sidelined him for the 2015-16 season. He would return but other than one 10-plus PPG season, Kidd-Gilchrist never achieved the level that the Hornets hoped for.  Still, he was a solid player who didn't necessarily have a weak spot in his game but doesn't exactly of a discernable strength.  The Hornets waived him in 2019, after 433 Games and an 8.6 PPG.
