  1. Who was Kon’s NBA comp again? They said Huerter, right? Lol. Dude’s a stud and might even be better than Reaves even at this age. I didn’t know skin color was the basis for comparisons these days. 😂

  2. I think he has a lot more upside than people believed before the draft. He showed in the ACC tournament a lot of the same skills he is showing now. He is very gifted as a passer, especially in the pick and roll. His ball handling is simple but effective and he uses his strength well to get to spots. I’m excited to see him with Lamelo and Miller. Also an underrated defender

  3. Enough Kon highlights can this page post some more classic games already? Years of inventory of games completely un utilized. This page should be posting old games every week, great way to grow the game. People want to see the greats play and not get lost in history

  4. He reminds me of a bigger TJ Mcconnell. He has Great awareness, is exceedingly crafty, and has a nice floater. This is by no means an insult–rather, my interpretation of his playstyle.

  5. He cna shoot and put the ball on the floor and get his own bucket and make the right reads. He's also taller and bigger than Tyler and is more mobile than Klay. I saw his best player comparison is Austin Reaves. AR is a better finisher but Kon is a better shooter. Will see how he progresses as a defender. Offensively he will be fine.

  6. It’s gonna be funny next April when we roll into the playoffs, pissing off almost EVERYBODY outside of Charlotte/Carolina

  7. He growing on me ian gone lie lol it look like he know exactly what he want to do everytime he touch the ball and even without the ball.
