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!


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.


Feel like he'll get way more comfortable with that. His passing ability is gonna make his dribble game way easier in the future.

Having Mann/Kon off the bench is going to be huge.

Hopefully so. His passing is definitely underrated.

I’d rather have PJ Hall as some 3rd string Varejao troll than damn Plumdog dribbling up the floor. He’s doin stuff

Hall wants to make the team.

This game is a huge statement by the summer league players and staff, they really came with the mindset to kick ass and not let up.

Like to see local guys do well. Hall was born in Spartanburg and went to Dorman high. Obviously went to Clemson. Dudes a dawg.

Kalk is going to have to get way more comfortable on the perimeter. There are far too many stretch bigs in the league for him to continue to allow wide open 3s like that

Valid. He's just leaving guys wide open out there.

Damn you replied before my edit. Typing stretch boys instead of bigs is weird as hell.

Baugh is single-handedly pissing this lead away.
