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

I'm assuming it's probably more frustration about the fact that organizationally as a whole our players are oft injured

My issue is if he’s injured enough to miss GAME 2 of summer league, then why did he play game 1? 
 

He needs the reps, he was absolutely horrible in game 1. He looked like he didn’t even belong in the NBA. So either sit him until October and let him get healthy, or throw him out there every chance possible to let him develop vs the speed and size of this league.

There’s no such thing as half pregnant.

I agree that he needs games and that he was extremely underwhelming in the first game. But spacing out the games makes a lot of sense as he is getting back from that injury. Give him a few days to make sure there are no setbacks etc.

Shades of not getting Davis and settling for MKG. Missed on Cooper settled for kon. The ghosts of Ammo, Kaminsky, Felton, May, etc… haunt this franchise. 

They had Bailey or Johnson sitting there for them. Both better prospects than Kon.

Just objectively speaking, I don’t know how Kon was projected Top 5.  Historically, those are picks either of the guaranteed franchise player or high-boom/high-bust potential ilk.  Nothing about Kon is high-ceiling.  As carpan said, looking at him, he fits the spot-up shooter backup mold.  That just boggles my mind that he got boosted up to Top 5.  I don’t see the value at all.  He must have a hell of an agent.

You know there's a preseason right?

First game was a awful stat line.

2nd DNP due to ankle

Summer league doesn't help what hes bring, its dang near YMCA pickup game level. 

I heavily question the type of player he is and his future was NOT, not not not what you use #4 pick on. Hornets got him on visit and still made the pick, they better hope he has some Larry legend in him. I maintain huge questions.

It's good to know we've got a couple of Ms Cleo clones in here that already know the future careers of Kon and Ace after 2 summer league games. Let me get the winning powerball numbers too when you get some free time thanks.

Don't have to be miss cleo. His weakness are length, athleticism, creating his own shot, defense, finishing at the rim, 

Strengths - shooting and IQ.

 

Likely won't work as non athletic shooters don't typically work.

Went through all this with Brandon Miller. There were bitter and I mean bitter back and forth convos and some meltdowns over the pick. I know the Hornets history. I'm not going to sit here and pretend they absolutely made the right pick. Between this franchise and the Panthers the drafts are a house of horrors. I know really bad by now when I see it. With a full perspective and the fact Miller developed Salaun is developing and KJ is developing I'm wait and see mode. He could end up being every single one of the things ya'll say. Or he could be a really good player we just don't know and we may not for awhile.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      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.
