Charlotte Hornets Have A STAR In Kon Knueppel
Cyro Asseo breaks down why Kon Knueppel is no longer just a promising
rookie — he’s a rising franchise cornerstone for the Charlotte Hornets.
Through twelve games, Knueppel’s advanced metrics aren’t just impressive
— they’re historic. His 72.6% True Shooting Percentage ranks among the
league’s elite, and his +40.1 Net Rating swing shows that the Hornets
are a completely different team with him on the floor.
In this in-depth breakdown, Cyro details:
Star-Level Efficiency: Knueppel is posting 16.6 PPG, 6.4 RPG, and 2.8
APG on elite shooting splits — 44.6 FG%, 39.8 3PT%, and 91 FT%. That’s
not role-player efficiency; that’s superstar territory.
Expanded Role: With LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller sidelined, Knueppel
has thrived as a primary option — averaging 19.6 points, 8.8 rebounds,
and 4.2 assists in his recent stretch.
Offensive Gravity: His shot-making warps defenses, unlocking space for
teammates and driving the Hornets’ best offensive stretches.
Historic Start: The first NBA player ever to record 150+ points and 30+
threes in his first 10 games.
System Fit: When Ball returns, Knueppel projects as the perfect co-star —
an elite off-ball shooter and complementary scorer who elevates
everyone around him.
The takeaway is clear: the Hornets have a legitimate building block.
Knueppel’s blend of efficiency, rebounding, and adaptability makes him
the rare rookie who instantly changes a franchise’s trajectory.
