Scouting Washington State transfer wing Cedric Coward. Analysis on his two-way potential, the scalability of his offense, different play types he likes to score out of, event creation on defense, NBA upside, and potential fit with Duke or Alabama

Mikel Brown - Lefty skip pass, resulting in a hockey assist. Brown is so skilled, so comfortable using his off-hand -- threads this live-dribble skip pass with his left, forcing the defense to scramble out. AJ Dybantsa makes the extra pass, Jordan Smith cashes in with the wing 3

Kon Knueppel - Pick-and-roll passing vs. defensive 5 below the level of the screen. Empty-side ball screen with corner pin-in screen for Tidjane Salaun — Knueppel so comfortable taking the ball into the paint, forcing the screen defender to nudge in his direction + hit the roller

Hornets - 21 Flare - Kon Knueppel. Tough piece of movement from Knueppel, transitioning from on-the-go catch into his gather + release. I like these Pistol type actions a lot as a way to get Kon involved in early-offense with LaMelo, Brandon Miller, Tre Mann, Sexton, etc.

Kon Knueppel - Passing feel on display, playing off 2 feet in the paint. Several nice finds from Kon tonight, including a couple live-ball drives where he's forced the x5 to challenge him, then found an open teammate at the rim

Hornets - Horns Flare - Tidjane Salaun movement 3. A go-to set for Salaun with the Summer League Hornets — get him in motion, catch-and-shoot looking or driving opportunities

Last day at Thomas and Mack. Let’s make it count.

Hornets - Wide Spain - Ryan Kalkbrenner. KJ Simpson rejects the Wide screen, quick Get exchange between Sion James + Kalkbrenner, excellent grab in traffic from Kalkbrenner and the redirect pass to an open Liam McNeeley corner 3

Sion James - Short Roll Passing. Guard-guard screen with KJ Simpson + Sion, who gets the switch-and-seal vs. Judah Mintz at the nail — spins/sees double coming + kicks to corner 3

Hornets - Ram Pick-and-roll Exit - KJ Simpson. Screen-the-screen pick-and-roll with KJ + Ryan Kalkbrenner, Exit screen from Sion James for Liam McNeeley to occupy the strong-side corner, nice manipulation from KJ

Sion James connective passing has been a nice bridge for the Hornets - transition game and in terms of maintaining half-court advantages.

Scheme change for the Hornets to start today: Ryan Kalkbrenner matched with Bona and in a deep drop, no cross match with Salaun on opposing 5 - minus a stretch-5 for Philly.

How many more Summer League performances does Liam McNeeley need like yesterday to end up on a podcast co-hosted by Tommy Alter. It's less than 3, right?.

Utah Jazz - 5-out Down Fan - Kyle Filipowski. Awesome action for a stretch/playmaking-5. Jazz look setup to have Flip set down screen for Harkless, who instead turns and sets flare screen for Flip — catches Knueppel + Salaun switch off-guard

Hornets - Wide Delay Zoom - KJ Simpson. After-timeout play: Jazz defend the Zoom action for Kon Knueppel well — next progression: flow into empty-corner pick-and-roll with KJ + Ryan Kalkbrenner

Hornets - 5-out Quick Flare - Liam McNeeley. False Go set that pulls Filipowski to the wing, opening up space in the middle of the floor. The flare screen frees up McNeeley, allowing him to attack the drop coverage on the move

Yang Hansen operating 5-out Delay sets is super fun. Layer the action and give him some cutters.

Kyle Filipowski looks excellent. Working as a 5-out hub and spacer. Doing damage against multiple matchups Charlotte’s tried, including the cross-matches with Salaun.
