The Hornets already have LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. If Knueppel can join them as an effective-out-of-the-gates third perimeter piece, that's a team that can win a solid total of games in the banged-up Eastern Conference.

Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel stole the spotlight in the Las Vegas Summer League Finals. With a clutch performance that helped the Hornets emerge as champions, fans erupted on social media while reacting to the display.

Kon Knueppel and Cooper Flagg began their NBA careers this year, with the former Duke teammates both landing in the Top 5 of this year's draft.

Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel received a pleasant surprise during a recent interview with Taylor Rooks for Bleacher Report. Knueppel has stated in the past that he hopes to model his game after Klay Thompson's and received a special message from the Dallas Mavericks star, via Rooks.

Kon Knueppel led the Charlotte Hornets to a blowout win over a Dylan Harper-less San Antonio Spurs team on Thursday night at the NBA Summer League.

One of Knueppel’s biggest strengths is his perimeter shooting. During his only year at Duke, he shot 40.9% from beyond the arc on 5.3 attempts per game. If this can translate to the next level, he should be able to carve out a nice role in the NBA.
