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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
