The Charlotte Hornets dramatically improved its inside scoring at this year's trading deadline by shipping off Ish Smith and Vernon Carey to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Montrezl Harrell.
Throughout his seven-year NBA career, Harrell has been one of the better finishers at the rim but more importantly, he plays with 100% effort and energy 100% of the time. That's something the Hornets fan base quickly grew to love and by the end of his first home game inside Spectrum Center, he became a fan favorite.
Like every other stop, Harrell was never thrown into the starting lineup.
