Surprise! Kon looks really bad!


Recommended Posts

Struggling to get open, currently 3 mins to go in the 3rd and he is 0 for in FGs, can’t create space with the ball or off the ball, forcing shots, and is getting cooked on defense.

 

file that under never saw this coming.

You would think simple nuance with Salaun's progression after months of whailing about him being a bust would give folks a little perspective to maybe let Kon play a few games before flailing about him being a bust. But nope. Game 1 of summer league his career is over.

Didn’t say that at all.  But he objectively doesn’t look good.  Some guys adjustment to SL the first few games takes a lot longer than others.  I remember Trae Young looked like complete ass for almost the entirety of it….  It Kon already doesn’t have great tools.  If you’re watching, they’re even trying to run plays for him and he just can’t get open.

also, Salaun may not have looked refined, because he wasn’t, but physically you could put him out there and know he could play.  Kon is not very athletic and doesn’t have a great frame - both of which Salaun already had, Salaun just needed to develop the fundamentals and refine his raw ability.   Kon is relying mostly on his fundamentals.

Asswhole, he literally has done none of that.  Dumb

Nice.

last I heard them say he was 0-5 and then jumped in the air to shoot and threw a turnover when it was contested.  Everything I said is what he has done so far.  Not saying it’s the end all, be all, but he objectively doesn’t look good.

I think you're just digging in because you didn't like the pick. I mean you could end up being right we all know the history of the Hornets drafting. But I think you're a little too gleeful with the issue brother. Let's give him some time and revisit.

It’s not so much the pick, although admittedly I didn’t like it - but, it’s more the history of our franchise.  I was salty about getting screwed in the lottery, and then it feels like it was a pick we just settled for.  But, just like with the Panthers’ picks, even if I don’t like it, I’m still gonna pull for them because our success depends on it.  But im also going to point out the good and the bad.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
