There are nights when Kon Knueppel doesn't look like a 20-year-old rookie; Friday was one of them. However, his statement after his 33-point, nine-assist outing shows that he is only going to get better. That is certainly good news for the Charlotte Hornets and bad news for the rest of the league.
Asked if he still feels like a rookie, Knueppel affirmed it and added, "I'm still figuring stuff out. I'm still relying on my teammates, especially the off-the-court stuff, trying to figure everything out with my life."
With such a mindset, it wouldn't be surprising to watch Knueppel repeat his Friday performance a lot more times.
