The Charlotte Hornets had their eyes set on Frank Kaminsky prior to the draft, selected him, and were pleased with his production in summer league.
However, head coach Steve Clifford told the Charlotte Observer that Kaminsky needs to add strength if he wants to have the kind of impact in the NBA that he's capable of:
"Just strength. And obviously him adjusting to the NBA game. But he’s a quick learner and a good worker. He’ll pick things up quickly. That applies to both ends of the floor. He’s so good off the dribble that he would beat guys but be pushed off (his lane to the rim) a little bit. So a lot of times, where in college he got to the basket, he was instead taking 8-to-10 footers. As he gets stronger, he’ll be at the basket again."
