2025 Las Vegas Summer League (July 10-20)

Hornets blowout win to get to the finals.

Knueppel another good game.

A winner that actually plays and doesn't sit like the other primadonna top picks.

Haters will learn quickly as he changes Hornets culture.

Jones Garcia is a ridiculous scorer.

Should be a 6th man on some team.

DaRon Holmes tore his Achilles last season. This season Derik Queen tore his wrist and will miss at least the next 3 months. SL is dangerous.

So play basketball, but just not in the Summer League?

Kings vs Hornets, a final we've been waiting for

The regular season (and playoffs) is what matters.

You were probably one of those people who thought that Kevin Knox (a former top pick who played well in summer league) was gonna be a stud in the league :lol:

They play hard like a regular-season game. It's the same explanation of load management.

Kings v Hornets, would love to see this as a future NBA Finals one day. Both teams have played really well in SL, should be a fun Finals matchup.

BTW Kings are the GL Champs so this squad will have some of that to bring to the table as well.

No Hall for Charlotte now as Memphis swooped and signed him. He is more ready than Kalkbrenner.

this could be a fizzer if Knueppel, Salaun and Hall don't play

Hornets are straight dominating every team this SL I'd be pretty surprised if they lost tonight. This is an historic SL Team

Hey Rate, how about Nikola Topic from OKC (technically a rookie). where did you aggregate those stats from ?

Knox had a 48% TS in summer league. He just chucked.

This is so weird seeing the Hornets on the podium hoisting a trophy, but being a long suffering fan and never having won a single thing, it’s pretty cool. Got to give it to Kon, he competes so hard

EmpireFalls · Post #659 » by **EmpireFalls** » Mon Jul 21, 2025 4:19 am

I truly thought I would die before seeing the Hornets lift a title.

I know it is summer league so I shouldn't get too excited but I mean this is huge for the Hornets. Anything to give positive momentum heading into the season is an amazing thing, and the fact that our lotto pick was MVP is icing on the cake.

Culture is changing in Charlotte. If Lamelo plays 65 games this year people will be surprised by their competitiveness but Center depth is once again concerning.
