I’m not saying Kon’s a bust but IF he was a bust it would look exactly like it has so far today. He looks awful.

Kon's shot isn't going in, but we know he's a good shooter. He's playing fine otherwise, made some good defensive plays and is a good passer.

We would have crushed this draft had we took Bailey.

Melo
Miller
Ace
Bridges
Kalk

Man it would have been special!

Thanks for bringing common sense back into this thread. One damn SL game and already seeing the word bust in sentences. It’s honestly wild to me.

Eh maybe I'm being overly critical, but Kon's defense has looked slow and poor this game.

McNeeley and Kalk look really good.

I think Kon will settle in. It took Jakucionis a few games for the Heat. Had a feeling Kon's game as a connector type wouldn't be an immediate fit for summer league.

Goodwin looks like the most generic NBA2k player ever.

Mcneeley seems like the odd dude on the light rail that tries to strike up conversation with anyone that sits near him - I mean that as a compliment

Y'all gotta stop this nonsense. He was the #4 pick. He has to play better point blank.

Both McNeeley and Kalk has looked flat out better. Just be honest.

Hopefully Kon bounces back next game. This was a below average performance for the #4 overall pick.

How you guys feel about the center position now?

I'm thinking we ride it out and see what we have with Kalk before we make any big moves. Kid looks legit.

Did you have this same energy when every other rookie stunk it up their first SL game? Relax.

Kalk is still playing a little stiff and is offering nothing really offensively. I'm glad he is taking 3's, however he has to get quicker

At least Miller is at 90 percent health now.

Liam with one of the best rookie debuts in this summer league. Love to see.

Guy, it's the first summer league game.

Flagg went 5-21 in his first game, is he a bust too?

Melo needs a Hello Kitty backpack to cherry-top that nonsense.

I have higher expectations for the #4 pick. You don't and that fine. :D
