It will be interesting to see how Defenses adjust to kon once they get used to seeing his two foot pump fakes in and around the rim. And what will his counter to that be?

Can't say I'm thrilled by our performance vs the OKC third string.

Kon with some nice moves, good offensive rebounds and good assists. Looking good!

Passing it off. Doesn't seem like he'll get stuck in the air, so he can just pass out.

Liam has been incredibly unimpressive so far.

Yeah feels like Kon and Liam switched roles compared to the first summer league game

Tidjane is not getting a single pass on the perimeter

Salaun's handle looks better. That's it.

This game got unwatchable real quick. Spencer looks like he'd rather be anywhere else than right here.

Hornets basketball is back!

Charles Lee is still not a serious HC. No creativity Miller still a spot up 3pt shooter.

We need a legit center as well. Other than that all is fine. :D

The good news is Kon is our leading scorer. The bad news is we got dunked on by OKC's 3rd stringers.
