The Charlotte Hornets' selection of Kon Knueppel in this year's draft has gotten plenty of praise, especially since they missed out on the bigger names. As early as now, it has become clear that the rookie is set to play a significant role for the franchise alongside LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller.
Charlotte's media day has finally arrived, and it has certainly been an interesting time for the team and its fans. But while most of the attention has focused on what different members of the organization have had to say, its under-the-radar decision to have Knueppel photographed with Ball and Miller is a huge revelation for its plans for the squad's future.
