Every NBA Franchise’s All-Time Starting 5

23. Charlotte Hornets: Kemba Walker-Baron Davis-Gerald Wallace-Larry Johnson-Emeka Okafor

23. Charlotte Hornets: Kemba Walker-Baron Davis-Gerald Wallace-Larry Johnson-Emeka Okafor

6th Man: Muggsy Bogues

For the Hornets, only players that played in franchises that were based in Charlotte were considered – thus the reasoning for adding in two Charlotte Bobcats (Wallace and Okafor). Davis found success on a number of teams, but his best years athletically were with the Hornets early on in his career. Walker boasts a modern game of driving and three-point shooting, while Bogues is a spark plug off the bench with his ball handling and tenacious defense. The forwards, Wallace and Johnson, would be an elite combo in today’s game, as Johnson is a talented scorer from all over the court and Wallace gives the ability to switch any unfavorable matchup with his elite athleticism. A young Okafor rounds out the starting five and brings solid paint protection and rebounding. This isn’t a team filed with stars, but it has players that would understand their role and contribute in a bevy of ways.
