Weirdly it’s mainly on this forum that thinks this. Not saying it’s right or wrong, but nearly everyone thinks this was a good pick
That's because we are a basketcase so casual NBA fans think the safe pick is what we need as we are so **** lol.

Treating myself to Ruth's Chris if he opens up the presser with thism
He's a hard worker. He grinds. He has that mentality we look for. He's going to help the culture.
Melos face when Tiddy and Kon check into the game:

All the Buzz Beat guys are supporting this and have wanted this for weeks. Kon was beloved by most scouts/analytics people. I’ve no clue if it will work out, but this is not a Zeller/Kaminsky situation

Hes a dude. Country strong. Did you see the portion of the highlight reel they showed that was him diving for loose balls? Electric.

Stop what? My favorite Hornets podcast has been in consensus for weeks that this is the best player for us. Kon was top 5 or at least top 8 on every big board out there. It’s only this one section of the internet that thinks he’s not a lottery talent.

He was highly effective in that role, but that doesn't necessarily indicate that he has high end potential in the NBA. You shouldn't be looking for a good role player in the top 4 of the draft.

This guy will be a role player. We could have traded back got assets and still drafted him. He's not the 4th best player in this draft with all due respect.

One positive i guess is Charlotte will have top 3 odds in the lottery next year.
They won't win of course, and they'll probably be rewarded with Bennett Stirtz out of Iowa
