Surely they won’t start to bench people with a big lead, right?

Kon getting stripped at mid court smh

Hopefully these coaches don't set this kid up for failure. Kon should be coming off picks catch n shoot like he's the next Klay Thompson.

Asking him to be a ball handler is going to be a huge pro for us. Set him up for success please!

They're putting Carter Bryant on KJ and a UNC guy on Kon now.

Kon's a very good roll passer.

Stuff just goes all to hell as soon as Kon sits. Rather ridiculous

It's so weird to need to blow another team out to make the playoffs. Call a timeout to make sure you don't let that lead dip below 21. Reminds me of the end of the 1999 Panther season, up 20+ and attempting onside kicks.

Ceiling concerns aside, leaving Kon wide open in the corner is crazy work

He can be both. He is both.

He can dribble, but when he gets pressured is when he struggles.

He's at his best coming off screens and playing the connector role.
