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 Jeff Peterson for his message to #Hornets fans who are unsure of where the roster is headed. (He still can't speak specifically about LaMelo and Miles Bridges trades because they are not official.)

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."
