I’ve only been here for the LaMelo era tbh. 2020/21 Brad Wanamaker, 2021/22 Mason Plumlee (even though he’s worse now), 2024/25 Vasa Micic and 2025/26 Tre Mann all come to mind for me.
Wes Iwundu was a Hornet once upon a time, lol
Walter Hermann
Cory Higgins is the answer
Who was the tall guy from Bobcats days that got drafted just because measurable. Think he has like three years of basketball experience in Africa but a 1st rounder.
DeSagena Diop
Kirk Haston
micic no comp
Cory Higgins, the bobcats actually wasted a roster spot on a Nepo baby
Tyrus Thomas
there was a time in which michael carter-williams suited up for us. i bought a jersey of his to commemorate those days. AMA
I’ve been around since the hornets got the name back but watched highlights of the bobcats the years prior.
If it’s bobcats you could put a decent amount of the 2011 team as horrible.
For hornets While he wasn’t horrible horrible, Cody Zeller pissed me off because he was never going to get better at all and we kept him for so long. He literally fell out of the league within two years of being let go from the hornets. I had no understanding of why we kept him, that draft wasn’t good tbf but still we held for so long.
Recency bias for sure and not sure about technically ‘worst’ but Batum. All day Batum.
It’s a toss up between Cory Higgins and Desagna Diop honestly. Both were truly awful players that contributed nothing.
He had some good games when he first got here but in the time leading up to us dumping him, Micic could have been replaced by me on the court and gotten better production
Nicolas Batum in Charlotte, still mad
Now go play him 1 on 1
Anybody saying any player post Bobcats era is wrong (or maybe you weren’t watching then). I could name 10 Bobcats before I got close to a Hornet.
Nicolas Batum and it’s not even close; when your most expensive player doesn’t even want to be here. FTG.
too many Bobcats players lmao
Fat Derrick Coleman was absolutely brutal
Byron Mullens and Micic. Me and my friends still say “damn it mullens” when someone makes a mistake.
Are we counting g-league players who were here due to injury?
Or actual players we signed to regular deals only?
Because if its the former then theres way too many players to go through for that list to be an easy answer.
If we look at their entire time here from start to finish then probably Diop or Kai Jones honestly, but if its any one given season then you have a three way tie between the rookie years of Biyombo, Kai Jones and Salaün really.
UNC fans won’t like this, but Sean May was a tough watch.
Lance Stephenson laid the fattest egg in Charlotte
PJ Hairston
Tim Kempton
George Zidek, Noah Vonleh
Boris Diaw the year we went 7-59 straight up stopped trying to win or even play well
Adam Morrison, mkg, and all the other high lottery picks that disappointed. We are always 1 spot away from Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, wemby….and the consolation prize has sucked until b miller.
