This crazy 'guarantee' from NBA analyst will have Duke basketball fans jumping for joy

The Duke basketball program saw its entire starting five drafted in the 2025 NBA Draft, and one of those top selections was Kon Knueppel. Now, this NBA analyst thinks Knueppel is a lock to make the 2028 USA Olympic Team, which is a pretty bold take. Knueppel, who was taken fourth overall by the Charlotte Hornets, was one of the most complete players in his class. His game didn't exactly resemble that of a future star, but he's a starter any NBA franchise would want. He's got elite defensive instincts, was the best shooter in his draft class, and has a higher motor than any other rookie coming into the league.
