From last night: Asked Kon what's been the biggest reason for #Hornets playing so well of late. He said attention to detail on defense. Also asked if there were any good side bets on the Duke-UNC game. (He was wearing a Drake Maye jersey)

Asked #Hornets summer league coach Blaine Mueller who has stood out to him so far in practice and who he's looking forward to seeing in game action in Las Vegas. He mentioned Latrell Wrightsell Jr. "He's been awesome," Mueller said. "Dude is one of the fastest guys I've ever seen." He also pointed out Sion James and how he's eager to see Sion be more of a ball handler and playmaker.

Asked Charles Lee about practice intensity and it's been raised a little. During his answer, he mentioned how 3 of the starting positions are a given, but 2 are still fluid. "You have to earn it," he said. "And I think it's based on how you earn it, how you perform in practice."
