Why Hornets fans shouldn't be concerned with Kon Knueppel's quiet debut

The Charlotte Hornets beat the Utah Jazz in a Summer League game on Friday night. It was a game that showcased all of the Hornets' draft picks in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Fans were most excited to watch Kon Knueppel, the fifth overall pick in that draft, but it was a pretty anticlimactic debut if we're being honest.

Knueppel was horrid at shooting the ball, only hitting one of the eight shots he attempted (a dunk), including missing all five of the shots he took from beyond the three-point arc. He was also a measly 3-6 from the free-throw line.
