NBA

Hornets’ Rookie Kon Knueppel Is On FIRE 😳

The No. 4 overall pick is now averaging 19.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists, while shooting an absurd 43.8% from three. Knueppel has hit 63 three-pointers in his first 17 NBA games, the most ever by a rookie — and by a wide margin. The league’s newest sharpshooter is making history in real time.

      It wouldn’t be a big surprise. He’s the favourite to win it. He just doesn’t get much hype like Flagg, but he’s better.

      @akritasdigenis4831 that’s a bold statement….overall Flagg is better…just isn’t showing his true potential…yet!

      @pauljansen1137 ??? So your argument is based on potential but no on actual stats or output being produced by the players? 😂😂

      @LeonarRonquillo my argument is based on the fact that Flagg has been hugely hyped for a while now….and with reason, no?

    Knuepple is that nizzle my nga. Seriously. He is 🙁

  7. @rickbrees3297

    November 25, 2025 at 4:38 pm

    Aaahh actually 🥸 he misses precisely 51% of the time… which is exactly less than half of the time. So actually 🥸 he CAN miss and a lot too.

  8. @theodorekrause9058

    Thumbnail says « can’t miss » I get the sports reference but he actually misses over 1/2 the shots he takes. Relax.

    He was a nice college player, but I didn’t expect THIS.) It looks like he’s not athletic enough but that’s deceiving.

      Lamelo said he got bounce, he’s definitely athletic

    This guy was already a great shooter in college now with all the spacing he’s got at the NBA level it’s unlocking his potential. Very nice player for the Hornets. Already their best shooter.

    Much better than Cooper Flagg, yet he gets much less hype.

    • @HuehuehueEsBest

      November 25, 2025 at 8:14 pm

      I think you’re underestimating Cooper because of the hype and expectations. He’s averaging slightly worse numbers (albeit less efficiently) on a position he’s never played before and he’s younger. Plays better D than Kon too. If he wasn’t so hyped people would talk about him being quite good averaging 16/6/3 as an 18-year old rookie with good defense in his first NBA games.

      Not to rag on Knueppel because he’s been fantastic, but people talk like Cooper is averaging 5 points a night.

    If we as a team can sort out these injuries and the lack of a whistle some games. I’m GENUINELY excited for this teams potential. It’s been a long ten + years of following for me. lol.
