Kon Knueppel Poised for Prominent Role in Hornets Rebuild
Kon Knueppel, the fourth overall pick in this year's draft, is expected to be a major focal point of the team's rebuild. The 6'7" sharpshooter brings polished scoring ability, having knocked down 40.6% of his threes and 91.4% of his free throws in college. With Charlotte prioritizing player development, Knueppel should see heavy usage from the start, giving him one of the highest fantasy ceilings among this rookie class. His fit alongside LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller gives the Hornets a young trio to build around, while also putting Knueppel in position to thrive as both a spot-up shooter and secondary scorer. Fantasy managers should view Knueppel as one of the top rookies to target in drafts, with early playing time and scoring volume likely to make him a valuable contributor right away.
