Are you familiar with Brandon Miller?

Sexton? Huh?

It took me a while too, but I think he's talking about lineup combinations for the Hornets.

Sexton fits well with Kon and I think that is their backcourt for most of the year. Whether Ball is traded or continues with the injury issues

zero rings wrote:I’m sticking to my original comp: he’s a beefed up Austin Reaves with a pure jump shot. The extra weight really helps him on defense, too. He doesn’t get physically bullied the way Austin does.

If the Hornets start him (they should) he could eff around and win ROY


Knueppel is indeed stronger and a better shooter, but Austin Reeves is more athletic, has a much better handle and draws fouls much better.

They are completely differents players, only things they have in common is the color of their skin and their defense (below average for both).

Wally Z IMO. Wally was a better athletic tester but it didnt really translate to the court.

Kon really needs to work on his handle, he is shifty enough on the floor on both ends but not with the ball in his hands. If he works hard and improves his handle significantly (rare, but players like Kawhi, DeRozan and Jaylen Brown have done it) he could be very very good, like a Chris Mullin level of player
