@ICheem858 you are foolish if you don’t think VJ is right up in the race for ROY. He’s had clutch play and great defense throughout the season so far. Not to mention out playing Flagg twice already head to head.

Basically a two way battle between him and Coop!!
@LikeLikeLikeLikeLke
January 2, 2026 at 2:43 pm
Yeah. Flagg is definitely really good. i just like Kon’s game better. He makes no mistakes. Like ever ever.

Depends what the criteria is, affecting winning has to qualify too. VJ is putting up pretty solid numbers and clutch play on a top 5 east team. Saying it’s a two way battle before even all star break is a little bit much.

Kon better currently, its not the main ball carry like coopper is in mavericks and still put similar numbers w higher efficiency. and if coop starts shooting 3’s his ppg probably going down slightly

Bro the VJ slander is crazy lol, people are on some good stuff just discrediting what he’s done so far for our squad.😂
@VonoffCrenshaw

vj has def been balling but it doesnt even come close to wat kon has been doin nd vj is in the bigger market so tht should tell u alot… aint nobody watching the hornets

@VonoffCrenshawLook at the highlights. Warriors/Hornets game was packed. They aren’t good yet, but they are on the way
@VonoffCrenshaw
January 2, 2026 at 6:05 pm
@averiskonsepti dont have to look at the highlights brother unfortunately ive been watching them for the last 6 years😭 im a lamelo fan ive been hoping this nightmare of me watching the hornets would end for quite a while nd its even worse wen lamelo is on his ultimate troll bs absolutely unbearable… but u r def right THIS hornets team is by far the best product theyve have since melo first two years but still charlotte nd philly are in two different categories rn as far as markets

The guy plays like a veteran, that’s bizarre.

When I’m watching these games I’m almost more surprised when he misses a 3 than when he makes one
@blacksheepcat
January 2, 2026 at 4:17 pm
as a gsw fan, we’re ready to trade JK for Knuepple. I’ll throw in Podz and Buddy. and Moody. and Draymond

Great play from Kon, though Eric Collins always makes these Hornets clips pop!

Is VJ in the East?
@bb732
January 2, 2026 at 7:21 pm
He knows how to play basketball, and he plays well.
He’s also fearless and strong-willed.
He’s the man who will be the centerpiece of the Hornets.

This rookie is nice such a lethal shooter
@usmcmsgt7051
January 2, 2026 at 7:57 pm
Imagine what they would be doing if they stayed at Duke meaning him and Cooper
@usmcmsgt7051
January 2, 2026 at 7:59 pm
He has a game like Austin Reaves. I think Reaves has better handles but you can improve that.

Definitely a top 3 candidate
@KH-ou4st
January 2, 2026 at 8:46 pm
If he keeps this up, he could become the player that Nik Stauskas was supposed to be
@JBParker522
January 2, 2026 at 9:59 pm
He plays like Doncic but more like an SG version
