Why not put West at the 4 and Anthony Davis at the 5? West was better than Chandler or Magliore, and he played 8 seasons in New Orleans.

LJ played the 4 during his time in Charlotte. He was short for the position, but incredibly strong and explosive. He had no problems playing the PF spot.

I think Glen Rice should be Charlotte's SF, unless you want to give it to Gerald Wallace just for being there 7 years instead of 3.

I was a big fan of Anthony Mason - a really talented guy who could do a lot of different things - but he's got nothing on a healthy Larry Johnson, who was an absolute beast in Charlotte.

Did you rule out Richardson because he was only there 2 years? My rule was to ignore 1-year players, but I figure 2 years is enough if they were good enough (e.g., Mashburn only played 2 years in New Orleans).

Curry is the iconic Charlotte SG, but he wasn't the best player. I've got J-Rich at the 2, followed by Eddie Jones, then Curry. Actually, now that I think about it, skill-wise I'd probably put Kendall Gill over Curry too.

He was indeed.
