The Charlotte Hornets' decision to select Kon Knueppel turned out to be divisive at the time, as many people thought that he was nothing more than a shooter. It did not take long for him to prove the doubters wrong, having displayed a complete offensive package, even if still underdeveloped in some areas.

To be fair to some draft experts, Knueppel has indeed been a terrific marksman. He has been knocking down 3-pointers at a historic rate, enough for shooting legend Reggie Miller to hint at his belief that the Hornets rookie can challenge Stephen Curry's record for all-time 3-point makes.
