Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

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.
