For Grid 2, Montrezl Harrell and Spencer Hawes could be good fits here. Harrell was in Charlotte during the 2021-22 season and with the Philadelphia 76ers after that. Hawes, on the other hand, played for Philly in 2013-14 and had a nearly two-year stint with the Hornets.
Mason Plumlee played 56 games without attempting a three-pointer for the Hornets last season. Bismack Biyombo would also be another solid answer for Grid 3.

Former NBA big men Tyson Chandler and Charles Oakley are possible Grid 4 answers. Both were drafted by the Chicago Bulls but moved on to the New York Knicks at later points in their respective careers.
