There's my contrarian!That is certainly possible.
There is nothing remotely unreal about that statement. Much like Kon may have had a "not the best of Kon CTC," the scrimmages Givony saw may have been the best of Kon coupled with not the best from Cooper. It happens all the time. Two years ago, people were talking about how far away Flip was after a scrimmage.
He is elite offensively but he did not show average to slightly below average defense at CTC. Far from it. His offense should get him significant playing time but not to the level of Cooper, Tyrese, and Caleb. If his defense is much better than he showed at CTC, then you are probably correct in your playing time assumptions.
With a group of 10 guys who are this good, for any one of them to be clearly the best player in three straight scrimmages would be absolutely unreal. Especially when it's not the projected #1 NBA pick! Who was the best player in CTC 1? Not sure. In CTC 2? Caleb Foster.
Givony had to have been exaggerating a bit. But it still means that we will probably see Kon as an unstoppable scorer in a lot of games this season.
