League Search Page > NBA > Charlotte Hornets > Roster & Statistics
The 1999–00 Charlotte Hornets relied on Eddie Jones as their primary offensive weapon while providing elite perimeter defense, with Anthony Mason serving as the club’s all-around leader through his rebounding, playmaking, and physical interior presence. David Wesley directed the offense, Elden Campbell anchored the frontcourt with reliable scoring, rebounding, and shot-blocking, and the Hornets combined balanced production with strong team defense, though their offense was more methodical than explosive.

| Eddie Jones | Two-Way Scoring Wing (1.1) | 39.0 | High (1.2) | 20.1 | 4.8 | 4.2 | 3.4 | 85.80 | Two-way scoring wing and Charlotte’s primary perimeter threat, Jones finally had the freedom to play as a featured offensive option after leaving the Lakers. He responded with his lone 20-point season, while his defensive instincts remained elite; he led the NBA in steals and earned both All-NBA and All-Defensive recognition. Basketball Network: Eddie Jones in Charlotte | All-Star (2000); All-NBA Third Team (2000); NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2000); DPOY Voting: 3rd (2000) |
| Derrick Coleman | Primary Frontcourt Scorer (1.1) | 31.7 | High (1.2) | 16.7 | 8.5 | 2.4 | 2.3 | 75.35 | Primary frontcourt scorer with enough perimeter range to pull opposing bigs away from the paint, Coleman became a major offensive outlet alongside Jones. His reputation remained complicated, but the playoff version was different: against Philadelphia he produced 29 points in overtime of Game 2, repeatedly attacking rather than settling. ESPN: Coleman leads Charlotte past Philadelphia | DPOY Voting: 8th (2000) |
| Anthony Mason | Point-Forward Facilitator (1.05) | 38.2 | Medium (1.1) | 11.6 | 8.5 | 4.5 | 1.3 | 59.83 | Point-forward facilitator and physical interior playmaker, Mason was one of Charlotte’s unusual offensive pressure points because Paul Silas could put the 6-foot-8 forward at point guard. Against Washington, that alignment opened the floor for the other bigs and let Mason operate with shooters around him, highlighting how his passing shaped the offense beyond his scoring. ESPN: Mason operates as point guard against Washington | DPOY Voting: 8th (2000) |
| Elden Campbell | Interior Defensive Anchor (1.05) | 32.5 | Medium (1.1) | 12.7 | 7.6 | 1.7 | 2.6 | 56.83 | Interior defensive anchor who could also punish smaller lineups in the post, Campbell gave Charlotte a dependable counter when Coleman and Mason occupied the perimeter. Silas’ point-forward experiment with Mason was particularly effective because it created room for Campbell to operate inside, where his finishing and shot-blocking could become more influential. Los Angeles Times: Hornets season coverage | None |
| David Wesley | Starting Pick-and-Roll Guard (1.05) | 33.7 | Medium (1.1) | 13.6 | 2.7 | 5.6 | 1.4 | 53.82 | Starting pick-and-roll guard and steady secondary creator, Wesley handled a substantial portion of Charlotte’s half-court organization beside Jones. His five-plus assists reflected that responsibility, while contemporary coverage also showed how important he was emotionally and structurally to a Hornets group dealing with Bobby Phills’ death. Washington Post: Wesley and the Hornets after Phills’ death | None |
| Bobby Phills | Defensive Captain Reserve (1.0) | 29.5 | Medium (1.1) | 13.6 | 2.5 | 2.8 | 1.8 | 47.82 | Defensive captain and veteran stopper, Phills supplied the type of perimeter resistance that did not always show up in the scoring column. He was a respected team leader who could start at either guard or forward, and his death in January abruptly removed one of Charlotte’s most trusted defensive voices. Washington Post: Phills remembered as defensive stopper and leader | None |
| Brad Miller | Passing Big Reserve (1.0) | 17.5 | Low (1.0) | 7.7 | 5.3 | 0.8 | 1.0 | 29.60 | Passing big reserve with a developing offensive feel, Miller gave Charlotte a different look from its more traditional interior players. He could score efficiently without needing many touches and showed enough offensive versatility to become a useful second-unit option, an early indication of the skill set that would eventually define his career. Sports Illustrated: Brad Miller profile | None |
| Baron Davis | Explosive Backup Point Guard (1.0) | 18.6 | Low (1.0) | 5.9 | 2.0 | 3.8 | 1.4 | 26.20 | Explosive backup point guard, Davis was used behind established veterans rather than handed the keys immediately despite being the third overall pick. His rookie role emphasized speed, penetration and defensive pressure in shorter bursts, giving Charlotte a glimpse of the dynamic creator he would become without forcing him into a premature lead-guard assignment. GQ: Baron Davis on his Charlotte rookie experience | None |
| Eddie Robinson | Athletic Transition Wing (1.0) | 16.6 | Low (1.0) | 7.0 | 2.7 | 0.5 | 1.1 | 22.60 | Athletic transition wing and energetic reserve, Robinson’s appeal was rooted in his explosiveness rather than a polished half-court offensive package. He had enough physical tools to attract attention as an undrafted rookie, and his early Charlotte role was built around attacking space, finishing above the rim and injecting athleticism into the second unit. Bleacher Report: Eddie Robinson’s Hornets-era development | None |
| Ricky Davis | Instant-Offense Wing Reserve (1.0) | 11.9 | Low (1.0) | 4.7 | 1.7 | 1.3 | 0.8 | 17.00 | Instant-offense wing reserve, Davis was still learning how to translate his aggressive scoring instincts into a controlled NBA rotation role. Charlotte used him sparingly behind more established perimeter players, but his ability to attack defenders and create his own shot gave the bench a source of individual offense. Iowa State Daily: Ricky Davis and Charlotte’s young core | None |
| Chucky Brown | Veteran Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 15.0 | Low (1.0) | 4.4 | 2.7 | 0.8 | 0.6 | 17.00 | Veteran frontcourt reserve, Brown returned to Charlotte late in the season after beginning the year in San Antonio. His value was mostly connective: experienced positioning, physical rebounding and the ability to fill either forward spot without requiring offensive plays designed specifically for him. | None |
| Todd Fuller | Low-Post Depth Center (1.0) | 9.7 | Low (1.0) | 3.3 | 2.7 | 0.1 | 0.4 | 13.00 | Low-post depth center, Fuller supplied Charlotte with another traditional interior body during a season when the roster already had several established bigs. His clearest contribution came in matchup-specific minutes, including a December win over Seattle in which his baskets helped Charlotte maintain its control of the game. ESPN: Charlotte-Seattle game report | None |
| Dale Ellis | Veteran Shooting Specialist (1.0) | 10.0 | Low (1.0) | 2.3 | 0.9 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 7.60 | Veteran shooting specialist added during the season, Ellis offered Charlotte a recognizable perimeter skill rather than a broad rotation workload. His arrival came through a midseason trade with Milwaukee, giving the Hornets another experienced floor-spacing option for situations where shooting was more useful than additional interior size. ESPN: 2000 NBA offseason movement and Ellis transaction | None |
| Michael Hawkins | Emergency Backcourt Reserve (1.0) | 3.0 | Low (1.0) | 0.7 | 0.6 | 1.1 | 0.0 | 4.80 | Emergency backcourt reserve, Hawkins saw only brief opportunities behind Charlotte’s established guard rotation. His role was essentially to provide ball-handling depth when the regular perimeter group needed another option, rather than to carry a defined scoring or defensive assignment. | None |
| Eldridge Recasner | Third-Unit Organizer (1.0) | 4.0 | Low (1.0) | 1.0 | 0.6 | 0.7 | 0.0 | 4.60 | Third-unit organizer, Recasner’s role was limited to short stretches in a crowded Charlotte backcourt. He provided experienced point-guard insurance and ball security, but the presence of Wesley, Jones and eventually Davis left little opportunity for a sustained rotation assignment. | None |
| Jason Miskiri | Roster Development Guard (1.0) | 3.0 | Low (1.0) | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 2.00 | Roster development guard, Miskiri’s NBA opportunity was extremely brief: he appeared in only one game before Charlotte waived him in November. His place on the roster nevertheless represented a notable moment for Guyanese basketball, as he became the first player from Guyana to appear in the NBA. | None |
| Derek Hood | Emergency Frontcourt Call-Up (1.0) | 2.0 | Low (1.0) | 0.0 | 0.5 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1.00 | Emergency frontcourt call-up, Hood received only two brief appearances before his NBA opportunity ended. With Charlotte already carrying Coleman, Campbell, Mason and other reserve forwards, there was little pathway to a regular role for the rookie big man. | None |
| Team Totals | — | 241.2 | — | 98.4 | 42.9 | 24.7 | 14.8 | 499.83 | Charlotte’s regular-season identity rested on Jones’ two-way perimeter leadership, Coleman’s interior scoring, Mason’s unusual point-forward responsibilities and a deep collection of experienced frontcourt pieces. The roster won 49 games and reached the playoffs, but the loss of Phills fundamentally changed its defensive depth and emotional makeup. | — |
Playoffs
| Player Name | Role Tier | MPG | Usage Tier | PPG | RPG | APG | STK (SPG + BPG) | Impact Index | Notes | Awards |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derrick Coleman | Primary Playoff Scoring Big (1.1) | 42.3 | High (1.2) | 20.3 | 12.5 | 3.5 | 3.8 | 105.86 | Primary playoff scoring big and Charlotte’s most productive interior option, Coleman became the Hornets’ main pressure point against Philadelphia. He attacked from both the post and perimeter, and his 29-point, 12-rebound Game 2 performance helped Charlotte force overtime and level the series. ESPN playoff coverage | None |
| Eddie Jones | Two-Way Playoff Wing (1.1) | 42.8 | High (1.2) | 17.0 | 5.0 | 4.8 | 3.3 | 79.46 | Two-way playoff wing carrying enormous minutes, Jones remained Charlotte’s most important perimeter defender while also serving as a major shot creator. His defensive activity was particularly valuable against Philadelphia’s backcourt, and he contributed across the box score even while struggling to find consistent shooting rhythm. Washington Post playoff coverage | None |
| Anthony Mason | Point-Forward Playmaker (1.05) | 44.8 | High (1.2) | 12.5 | 9.8 | 5.5 | 1.0 | 72.58 | Point-forward playmaker operating almost like a second point guard, Mason’s value in this series came from initiating offense, attacking mismatches and controlling possessions from the forward spot. He played nearly 45 minutes per game and repeatedly functioned as Charlotte’s connective passer when Philadelphia pressured the guards. Los Angeles Times playoff coverage | None |
| Elden Campbell | Starting Rim Protector (1.05) | 37.5 | Medium (1.1) | 14.3 | 8.3 | 1.0 | 1.5 | 57.98 | Starting rim protector and interior finisher, Campbell became increasingly important when Philadelphia tried to crowd Charlotte’s perimeter creators. His best moment came in Game 2, when he scored 20 points and grabbed 14 rebounds while providing four blocks, giving the Hornets a needed interior counter in their lone victory. Associated Press playoff coverage | None |
| David Wesley | Lead Ball-Handling Guard (1.05) | 38.0 | Medium (1.1) | 11.0 | 3.0 | 4.8 | 2.0 | 48.05 | Lead ball-handling guard and secondary creator, Wesley continued to organize Charlotte’s offense even when his own jumper deserted him. Philadelphia’s physical perimeter defense made his shot creation difficult, but his nearly five assists per game show why Charlotte still relied on him to get the offense into its sets and keep possessions moving. ESPN Game 1 coverage | None |
| Brad Miller | Passing Center Reserve (1.0) | 15.5 | Low (1.0) | 7.5 | 3.3 | 0.8 | 0.8 | 24.80 | Passing center reserve used to change the texture of Charlotte’s second unit, Miller offered a softer offensive skill set than the Hornets’ veteran bigs. He earned meaningful minutes in the series, including 27 in Game 1, when his interior scoring and passing provided relief from Philadelphia’s pressure on the starters. RealGM playoff game coverage | None |
| Baron Davis | Explosive Guard Reserve (1.0) | 14.3 | Low (1.0) | 5.8 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.0 | 19.60 | Explosive guard reserve, Davis was still a situational creator rather than Charlotte’s primary point guard. His speed gave the Hornets another way to attack Philadelphia’s defense, and his four-game playoff workload offered an early glimpse of the athleticism that would eventually make him a lead guard. ESPN Game 1 coverage | None |
| Eddie Robinson | Athletic Wing Reserve (1.0) | 11.3 | Low (1.0) | 3.0 | 0.8 | 1.0 | 0.8 | 11.20 | Athletic wing reserve used mainly for energy minutes, Robinson supplied length and transition ability without being asked to create much in the half court. His role remained narrow against Philadelphia, but Charlotte trusted his athleticism enough to keep him in the rotation throughout the four-game series. Associated Press series coverage | None |
| Team Totals | — | 246.3 | — | 91.3 | 44.0 | 22.8 | 14.2 | 419.73 | Charlotte’s playoff attack revolved around Coleman’s interior scoring, Jones’ two-way perimeter workload and Mason’s unusual point-forward responsibilities. The Hornets won Game 2 but Philadelphia’s defensive pressure ultimately forced Charlotte into difficult perimeter possessions, ending the series 3-1. | — |
