The Charlotte Hornets got a star in Kon Knueppel after selecting the former Duke freshman star with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and Knueppel is already making NBA history despite playing just four career games. The sharpshooter has now made the most three pointers through his first four career games in the history of the league, with 16. Knueppel was drafted into a perfect situation in Charlotte, with his ability to thrive off the ball playing alongside ball-dominant guards LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. It hasn't taken long for Knueppel to get acclimated to the professional level, as he's proving why he was scouted as the best shooter the 2025 draft class had to offer.
