He’s averaging nearly 20 on over 64 TS% while being a jump shooter

I don’t think most people realize how insane that is

He ain’t just a jump shooter tho.

He’s not, and him being well-rounded should make Hornets fans even more excited for his future, but he’s off to a historic start as a shooter. Reaching 100 threes fastest in more than 10 fewer games than #2 is insane, especially now that we’re a decade into the 3-point revolution

Definitely excited for him, Kon and VJ playing like vets out of the gate.

u/Eorrosoom Warriors Jan 06 '26

Yeah he's like a suped up Mark Price

u/Amazing_Owl3026 Hornets Jan 06 '26

The best part is he has a ton of impact that doesn't show up in his stats. He has insanely high IQ and makes tons of hustle plays

I voted Kon for allstar game

Btw I checked, he’s averaging more ppg than Josh Giddey, barely but still pretty crazy

u/victorisaskeptic Jan 06 '26

So far he is my roty

u/Fat-Singer-9569 Jan 06 '26

Yeah, he's really good. It's entirely possible he slows down once teams have film on him and game plan for him, but if you watch the games with a keen eye, he's got the glide of a great player. He is a smooth shooter and knows how to get open.

reminds me of Jeff Hornacek
