Charlotte Hornets rookie Kai Jones was known for his high-flying poster dunks coming out of Texas and he put that on display today in Las Vegas against the San Antonio Spurs.
In the Hornets 106-105 loss in summer league, Jones finished with 10 points and five rebounds, which included two SportsCenter Top-10 worthy dunks.
First, near the top of the second quarter, Jones caught the ball on the left wing, faked left and drove across the lane as he rose above Spurs forward Nate Renfro and through down a monster slam.
The drive and the FINISH 🤯

Second, Jones flies through the lane to snag an offensive rebound off a James Bouknight miss and tip-slams it home halfway through the fourth quarter.
