The center might not be the deepest position in the history of Charlotte, but it's definitely been one of the most important.
Most of the time in their history, when the Charlotte Hornets have been successful it was in part due to a really good big man down low. In the early days of the 90's they had the early years of Alonzo Mourning as he led this new team to their first taste of the playoffs. When the franchise returned to the playoffs under a new name, the Charlotte Bobcats, they had Tyson Chandler anchoring the number one defense in the NBA.
