I totally get it. As a french man who also lived in California for a while, I would have found it very difficult to move to another state once I got used to life there. And for his career, since he is a slightly older rookie, I feel he’ll have a much better chance to develop, while playing in Sacramento.

He’d easily be big #3 and we’d run more 2 big lineups.

We’ve cut down on French Vanilla since we really don’t have a 3rd big, not because two bigs has been ineffective. Olynk, Sochan/Plumblee, Biyombo - all trash.

Athletes in general seem like they get off to faster starts in their professional careers these days.

I think a big factor is more coaches are willing to actually give them runway, especially if they are on bad teams.

Always seemed like they had to really earn their playing time at the beginning. Most all starts averaging like 13 -20 minutes a game their rookie years with some exceptions.

Check out what type of training kids go through these days and how much money parents spend and it’ll blow your mind For example - You can buy a rolling sheet of fake ice (think treadmill) so potential hockey players can skate and work on their skills year round and whenever they want to.

Another example - figure skater Alysa Liu’s dad spent up to a million dollars on training for his daughter

In fairness, Dwyane Wade won a championship and Finals MVP in just his 3rd year in the league back in 2006. I don’t think we’ve seen anything remotely like that since then

He couldnt miss against us lol. Hes gonna be great.

I hope he get some awards someday. MIP or 6th man if Spurs played him from bench for some years.but he can also be a starter for the upcoming years. Spurs really got some nice picks from past 3 drafts.🎉🎉

Dylan is sitting behind Fox and Castle while being on a contender. I hate to exaggerate things but he would have been the consensus top pick last year by a fair margin.

He needs to play great and win games to overtake Kon. Unfortunately I think Dallas is punting this year.

Except it’s not, kon as a rookie is one of the best shooters in the nba, as a rookie. Flagg started slow while kon has been consistent all season. The offense is running through Flagg obviously he’s going to get his stats, but all the games he had huge nights are losses. The hornets before kon were a joke and hadn’t seen success at this level even when both Miller and lamelo were available. Flagg isn’t Giannis, kon isn’t Jared Allen.

That’s like saying that Jared Allen is better than Giannis

Jarret Allen and Giannis stats are a mile apart. Not to mention Kon has played 10 more games.

That’s a bit much Kon is contributing to a team who no one thought was going to be a playoff team more people thought the Mavs would make the playoffs compared to the hornets, also Mon is having the best shooting season from a rookie ever. That’s insane like yea Flagg is cooking but Kon is doing some absurd things as well and mind you he’s healthy.

Correct

Rookie wall is inevitable. Happens to everyone, and Kon is no exception
