Although guard J.R. Smith leads the Hornets with a 20-point scoring average after four games in the Vegas Summer League, Scott said Smith has been inconsistent. Maciej Lampe has shown progress as a post player. Still, Scott told him this week he'll need to improve even more before training camp starts. But there's one player who has caught Scott's attention for all the good things he's done. For several minutes Wednesday, Scott raved about second-year forward Jackson Vroman's hustle, improved defensive play in the post and ability to finish more plays. "I'm really proud of his work this summer. The way he hustles and plays is going to be a big-time benefit to us," Scott said. "I think he's got some confidence. He's one of the players who is going to come to training camp and give a lot of guys trouble." </div> Source
