The Hornets' first-round show wowed the audience, how could such a talent be buried?
In today's NBA Summer League game, the Charlotte Hornets easily beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 91-80. In the game, the Hornets' bench forward Kai Jones was in good shape, playing 20 minutes and 13 seconds, shooting 7 of 5, shooting 1 of 1 from the field, efficiently cutting 11 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, plus or minus as high as +7. He has shown great talent and potential at both ends of the board, and he has also contributed a lot to the team's victory.
Jones has shown amazing talent, he has excellent speed and explosiveness, his ability to bounce is also top-notch, and his athleticism is definitely the best of all the front-liners. In addition, he even hit a difficult turn folding mid-range 2+1 shot, which also shows that he has a certain ability to finish, and he also has great potential to tap in shooting. In addition, he can also use his athletic ability to complete high-quality co-defense and reinforcement on the defensive end.
Jones was the Hornets' 19th pick in the 2021 draft, albeit in the mid-round of the draft. But he didn't get enough chances to play, and last season he literally put the team on the bench. In total, he only got 63 minutes of playing time in the regular season, ranking second-to-last in all first-round shows. By the time of this year's summer league, he still hadn't received enough attention. His playing time is very limited, and he does not have many balls and shots.
There is no doubt that Jones has high cultivation value and ability to become a qualified NBA rotation player. But the key question is, will the Hornets be willing to give him enough playing time?
