He got offensive rebounds. Second chance points have been a historical deficiency for a number of years for the Hornets. The "awkwardness " will go away once the game slows down for him. He's still growing into his body.
@AllHornets Salaun is lacking in a lot of different skill areas, like dribbling, finishing at the rim, pull up shooting, timing on blocked shots, etc. Which area do you think he should focus on first? Which one do you think he can improve the most?
Impossible to answer now. He's the youngest player in the NBA, a long term pick. You can't judge that now, it will take 2-3 years before we can get any read on the situation. This season will mainly be focused on adjusting to the NBA and life in the USA, I wouldn't expect too much.
@@mattwood6892 They think in 3 years he would be the best player of anyone available to them at 6th overall. An major reason IMO is his fit as a role player between Miller/Ball. This draft was a weak one with limited star power, I think they wanted to get the perfect guy to fit.

Dribbling and defense are the main things he should focus on now. Watching him dribble gave me an anxiety issues.
Is Salaun a bad pick considering the options ?
Yes
We could have drafted Dillingham (Hickory NC native)and traded Lamelo who is often injured and not hungry

@@CharlotteHornetsOnSI Was a three year project the best franchise option? What goes into that decision?

He's a newborn baby giraffe 🦒 with the ball in his hands. In time, that will improve and he'll be dangerous
