According to one NBA analyst, Kon Knueppel is one of the three biggest losers of NBA Summer League. The Charlotte Hornets' fourth overall pick struggled in one game, sat out another, and then came back with a relative bang in the team's third game. Still, he was criticized for the first two games.
Bleacher Report's Andy Bailey said that Knueppel is a loser because early impressions are hard to shake. "Kon Knueppel, the fourth overall pick in June, debuted on Friday against the Utah Jazz and just sort of floated throughout a game in which he finished with five points on 1-of-8 shooting," he said.
