Mitch Kupchak leaving left a horrible void. Hate having to root for all these Dookies…

Seems like a 1-1 Okogie replacement.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte Sion James
Good pick, not sure where he plays but adding a point of attack defender makes sense. He gives me Lu Dort lite vibes.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte Sion James
If anything he can play outside linebacker for the panthers.
Not even hardly kidding.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte Sion James
He was the primary PG for the most talented team in the nation and guarded the best teams player 1-3 most games at 6 5 6 6 225 whatever he weighs. Hes a specimen. Can hit an open 3 as well. Love this pick.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte Sion James
I feel bad for Dookie, so it made me cry.
I'm not crying, you're crying.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte Sion James
Went out and won the staring point guard from Caleb Foster and handled those duties well. He's not an intuitive guard that will create, but he's solid in just about all areas. Despite being 6'6", he plays smaller due to a lack of vertical. Gets blocked too often and has trouble finishing at the rim. Has quick hands and a solid physical foundation to make life bruisingly hard on screeners. Is a pretty good shooter, but not off the bounce. He spots up well, especially from the corner. I don't see him cracking the rotation, but as a third guard who can defend as needed, not a bad pick for the Hornets.

I think Kon is going to be a really solid player so i hope you’re right and then some.

Patrick Beverly on steroids without accompanying psychosis.
The screams of joy and celebration at his draft watch party says so much about how he treats the people closest to him in everyday life and how they feel about him as a person.
I've never heard such crazed celebration from an inner circle.
Seems like the perfect Swarm PG who can help the team lead on both sides of the ball for development purposes.
McNeeley, Salaün, Kalkbrenner will all spend time with him in the Gleague. And we will be stacking 2nd round picks through his first contract.

You will one day learn the art of the backhanded compliment.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte Sion James
It's not all negative. I did not lump Kon (or NSJ) in with that Swarm super-squad because they're safe. I remain concerned KJ Simpson is going to taint this developmental space.
