Took a tour of the #Hornets new practice facility to see the progress. Impressive stuff. Huge training area that is nearly triple the current size at the Novant Health Training Center. Cool features, including a lovely view of the arena and uptown from the team dining lounge.

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 for his first impressions of Hannes Steinbach and Christian Anderson Jr. "Really mature offensive games for both guys. Really polished," Mueller said. "Christian's ability to create for himself and others has been very apparent. "And then Hannes as well. Just such a great feel in terms of his playmaking and passing out of the post."

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 how the plan for minutes is communicated to LaMelo and Brandon, especially LaMelo. Lee said conversations come ahead of game so emotions don't get involed. But "there are times when I'll look at the them and be like, 'Can we get one or two more minutes?'"
