Charlotte Hornets 2010s all-decade team

Frontcourt

Gerald Henderson, SF

The battle for small forward came down to two Geralds–Gerald Wallace and Gerald Henderson. Wallace was the better player and had the better career in Charlotte, however, he played just two seasons with the Bobcats during the decade, and was traded midway through the second. Henderson, on the other hand, spent his entire NBA career during the 2010s. He spent six years with the Bobcats/Hornets, averaging 12.0 points per game on an impressive 44% shooting. In fact, other than Kemba Walker, no other Hornet scored more points than Henderson during the decade.

Marvin Williams, PF

The Hornets had Larry Johnson in the 1990s and Emeka Okafor in the 2000s, however, the team never really had a dominant power forward during the 2010s. With that being said, Marvin Williams was the franchise’s best option at the position throughout the decade. Williams is currently in his sixth season with the Hornets, and is a veteran leader on a young, developing roster. His impact goes much further than his leadership, though, as he ranks 13th in franchise history in points scored, and tallied more points than anyone but Henderson and Walker in the decade. He also ranks third in made threes, eighth in rebounds, and ninth in blocks in Hornets history.

Al Jefferson, C

To round out the frontcourt, former Hornets center Al Jefferson earns the final player’s spot on the all-decade team. Jefferson was one of the more offensively dominant centers in the league from 2013 to 2016, and was one of the best post players the Hornets have ever seen. In just his first season with Charlotte, Jefferson was named to the All-NBA team. Across three seasons with the Bobcats/Hornets, Big Al averaged 17.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.
