First news out about Frank the Tank.
Charlotte Hornets rookie Frank Kaminsky looked ‘rusty’ in first practice
“He said I’ve got to bring more energy,” Kaminsky said of what Ewing told him following Kaminsky’s first NBA practice.
“I know he’s going to be on me. They expect a lot from me. I was the ninth overall pick in the draft, so there are a lot of things I need to live up to. They expect the best out of me every practice and I have to bring it.”
“It’s a little difficult just because I’ve never played with these people before. You’ve just got to get used to other people’s tendencies -- how they like to play, how they like to come off ball screens. Picking that up in such a short amount of time is pretty difficult,” Kaminsky said.
“Defensively it’s a lot different than what we did at Wisconsin. That’s just the nature of the NBA -- it’s a faster game, there’s not as much time in the shot clock to make decisions. Some similarities but also some differences.”
