The Charlotte Hornets currently rank 10th in the Eastern Conference, which is not ideal. However, the season still has positive aspects.
Kon Knueppel, the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, has emerged as a key player to watch.
Knueppel is delivering impressive stats, averaging 19.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists over 59 games. He is providing excitement for fans, alongside Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball.
The rookie is also making a mark with his three-point shooting, hitting three-and-a-half threes per game on eight attempts, with a success rate of 44.2% from beyond the arc.
So far, he has sunk 209 three-pointers and is on track to reach 290 by the end of his rookie season.
