Kons defense has been bad. Not sure how people are saying hes been good on defense.

I absolutely don't think this game means hes going to be bad overall. His passing was good and he will hit 3pt shots. However, this game so far seems like a good example of why I was adamant that I didn't think he was going to be able to defend or create on ball at the next level. Hes a straight up stiff and hes going to have some of the worst movement skills of any player in the league at his position.

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.

Did you have this same energy when every other rookie stunk it up their first SL game? Relax.
I have higher expectations for the #4 pick. You don't and that fine.

It’s a summer league game. Are you okay?

Guy, it's the first summer league game.

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

Cmon man Flagg is a proven talent.

Ball movement, ladies and gentlemen - ball movement.

I think Kons been abysmal today. We are definitely not set at center. Liam looks good.

We would have crushed this draft had we took Bailey.

Melo
Miller
Ace
Bridges
Kalk

Man it would have been special!

You should just put that in your sig. Would save you having to post it several times a day

He is just not a lottery level talent in any respect at all

Cam Spencer who went #53 last year is basically his player comp. We reached sooooooo hard.

Two clear takeaways from this game. Liam looks not-summer-league-fluke solid, and Tiddy has improved. Everything else will remain fuzzy until it's not.

I don't know if Id go that far, but I really don't think he had any business being a top 5 pick.

McNeeley is a baller. Don't let the appearance fool you he can get buckets!

Braggins · Post #436 » by **Braggins** » Sat Jul 12, 2025 12:53 am

I didn't make a player ranking anything, but for most of the season I though McNeeley was a better prospect than Kon.

And Kon isn't?

This Kon stuff is going to get tiring pretty soon. If he's not ever good, that's one thing. But it's like some of you guys will purposely root for it so you can be "right."

Yeah Kalk has to get stronger especially in his legs. He has a year to go

Heelsfan119 · Post #439 » by **Heelsfan119** » Sat Jul 12, 2025 12:57 am

The facts are folks would be saying Kon feasted on SL guys if he had a good game and he was a bust if he wasn’t lights out. Just give it time. The good news is it looks like our player development program is working. KJ and TS have improved.

Happens every season. People will literally want Liam to be better than Kon soon if not already. If he is that’s fantastic. That wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. I don’t get it with some of these people.
