After a dreary first game, Summer League was kind to Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel. The former Duke standout took a game to rest his ankle and came back with vengeance, showcasing why he was the fourth overall pick and leading Charlotte to its first-ever Summer League title.
Knueppel was far from the only good player the Hornets had, but he was good enough to get noticed by The Athletic's Jon Hollinger. He praised Knueppel, calling him one of the standouts of the summer alongside players like Cooper Flagg and VJ Edgecombe.
