After two preseason games, it has become clearer that Kon Knueppel is ready to play heavy minutes for the Charlotte Hornets. He probably even deserves to suit up more than 27.8 minutes per game, which is what Josh Green averaged last season.
Intriguingly, the Hornets already need to establish sufficient playing time for LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Tre Mann, and Collin Sexton at the guard and wing positions. So, if the coaching staff believes that Knueppel should also figure prominently in the rotation, it may have to bench Green more often than it did in his first year in Charlotte.
