Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

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.

Eh just let Summer League play out. It's a developmental year anyway. I'm just happy to see this many young motivated players with legit promise. This roster absolutely needed it after such a rough end to the season last year.

Told everyone that Kalkbrenner was being penciled in as the starter at the 5. McNeely is going to end up ahead of Kon on the depth chart at the 2 before it's all said and done. If ya wanted shooting and offense at the 2, you needed to take Johnson and not Kon. He just doesn't fit in the NBA and I don't understand the draft rankings. I had Kon outside the top 10 around 15th or so.

If you end up with a starting center and a good back up 2 from the draft it's still a good class even if Kon is a bust. I agree and wanted Johnson or honestly if you knew you were getting the other 3 guys I would have taken Bailey and crossed my fingers. I just want a competive basketball team don't really care about misses in the draft as long as we are hitting on some guys. That said it's one game give the guy some time

I'm not saying he's a bust from that one game (even though I hated the pick) Kon is a backup SG that comes in and stands in the corner and occupies a defender at worst. 

I agree even if Kon is the above the team probably ends up with 

Kalkbrenner - starting center that needs to add strength to be most effective but has a good skill set. 

McNeeley - high upside shooter with good create ability that plays relentlessly. 

Kon - Another high upside shooter with less create ability and less motor. 

James - high upside 3&D guy 

 

That's not a bad draft at all considering they already had Ball and Miller who can drive and create.

Maybe part of the Hornets summer league training is making sure a guy has enough outfits to sit out 50-70% of a season. 

Having issues with a player coming back from an injury not playing back to back games is certainly an interesting stance…

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
