I know it’s not going to happen but can we please stop being so quick to judge our draft picks. Kon came back with a respectable game 5-10FG 3-5 3pt 3-4FT 10Rebound 16Pts. I really think this new regime has gotten it right with these last two drafts.

Not going to say he's a bust but you'll name drop Adam Morrison just because lol.

Wasn't Adam Morrison known to be really good in Summer League? But when he got to the regular season he was bad? You know it's not a one size fits all indicator of success or failure. Summer League is about development and adjusting to the NBA.

The shitposting here is wild.

Looking good in Summer league means nothing, it's what you're supposed to do as a top 5 pick.  Looking bad in Summer league means a lot, especially as a top 5 pick.

Kon came to life in the second half of tonight's game, we will see if he can sustain it.  Even with his lightning in a bottle quarter he is 6 for 18 (33% FGs), 3 for 10 (30% 3FGs) and 6 for 10 (60% FTs).  As it stands now, he has been incredibly underwhelming.  Not just in his stats, but in his overall presence on the floor.  That's my biggest concern watching him, he just looks out of place.  Could care less if he shoots 10% if he's being aggressive and taking the game to people.  He's not even close to doing that.

There is a difference between having a bad night and looking like you don't belong on the floor.  See Cooper Flagg's first game where he was statistically awful but looked athletically dominant and aggressive.

I'm legitimately not trying to be abrasive here. But are you under the influence or something? Because you are all over the place on this subject to the point you've been flailing about Kon being a bust for not looking like an all star in his first summer league game to hilariously downplaying when he actually looks good. What did this kid do to you? Legitimately I'm curious to understand your thought process. If you just don’t like him and want him to fail I could accept that because well that's how things go sometimes in sports it's fine that's the nature of social media. But trying to present yourself as a neutral observer is absolutely hysterical.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
