Kon Knueppel '24-'25 offensive highlights. Phenomenal movement shooter. Gets great looks off of screens. Great footwork into his catch-and-shoots. Gets feet in the paint on drives, initiates contact, and finishes through contact. Such a smart player and there's so much to like.

I love how physical he is when he’s in the paint

That's what stood out to me. Physicality is something we really need

I think Hornets got a steal. He's 19! Austin Reaves is holding the Lakers together.

He was who I really wanted the Hornets pick in this draft. I watched a lot of his games in college and just love what he brings to this team

Tbh i don’t think we could’ve traded down. Jazz definitely would’ve taken kon which is evident by the ace pick

Kon Knueppel looked the part in his first taste of pro ball… Beautiful + willing shooting. Timely offensive rebounds & lose ball recovery. Dense bodied with slick step through footwork. Decisive attacking closeouts. Smart screens/relocations. Going to be a very additive player.

Michigan’s BLOB vs. Indiana is a clinic in layered design The rip screen gets movement into the paint & the 1st stagger leads to an entry to the wing Then the 2nd stagger finishes them off. After the rip cut, the defender relaxes for a split second & Michigan exploits exactly that. Trey McKenney curls off with clean footwork and buries the 3. This is what smart offense looks like.

Happy Birthday, David Morse Contact (1997) Morse played against type in Contact, and in doing so became the emotional core of the film. His "Hi, Sparks" is achingly beautiful. Contact is such a great film.

Kon Knueppel two foot finishing 👣 62.1% at the rim in the half court despite his lack of vertical pop So good at utilizing his gravity to attack close outs or get a paint touch off cuts, post ups, and curls. Avoids putting himself in bad spots by playing off two and using his crafty footwork, strength, and feel to pump fake and pivot his way into openings and mess with defenders timing at the rim.

🎙️ Charles Lee on Kon Knueppel: "I never have to worry too much about him finding his offense or having to cater to him." "That's one of the beauties of who he is as a player. He feeds and works off of everyone else so well. He looks for opportunities, doesn't force too much..."

Jordan Spence is a “transition defender” he is a great study of how to use a great stick and great feet to win early contact on the puck carrier. He uses the boards as an extra defender and he wins body position to not only force stops but create contact exits for the Kings.

Any Juco coaches looking for a 6’5 combo guard Israel ogbebor is great catch a shoot three point shooter. He also does well handling the ball and getting down hill. He can finish around the rim, make great dump off passes to the bigs and gets his hands in passing lanes.

KEEP ADVANTAGE ON DRIVES Nothing drives me crazier than a player that gets their defender on their hip while driving and then pulls back their dribble 😡 Learn to embrace the contact, take an advantageous angle, and score around or over the secondary defender.

Ace Bailey went off in his first taste of pro ball... Had him running off screens & cutting off ball like a true movement shooter, and he was hitting nasty shots. Created opportunities for himself with quick hands + on the glass. Handful of nice passes/drives. Encouraging stuff.

This play is making the rounds so let's break it down. Murray never gets in legal guarding position since he gets beat initially and the contact is clear caused by the defender moving A to B into Shai's line. The key is to isolate on the defender, not the offensive player, since it's the onus is on the defender to avoid illegal contact. Murray is nowhere near in the path, nor is he squared to the driver *when* the contact occurs. Keep Watching my clip since if you think it's all unfair, Deni drew more fouls than SGA in this game (15-10) and got a very similar call to the first play in the 3rd as Williams clearly drives his right hip into Deni's hip. And then Avdija got a very SGA-like foul after that deep in the 4th. There's no conspiracy to just calls these fouls for SGA, folks.

🎙️ Charles Lee on Kon Knueppel: "He's got a great level of physicality. He's a lot stronger than you think, and he uses that to his advantage. On top of his basketball IQ, he's always in the right spots and really impacting the defense—whether he's on the ball or off the ball."

This is just an egregiously bad call. DeVonta Smith gets jammed by a WR and is fighting to get off of that press, never even makes contact with the player trying to defend Goedert, and gets flagged for OPI.

🎙️ Charles Lee on Kon Knueppel becoming the fastest player in NBA history to reach 50 3s: "It's great for a young player to have that type of success early on. He's humble enough to understand that a lot of it is him, and a lot of it is his teammates too. That combination is putting him in a good spot, and he's converting and showing us what kind of player he can be."

Tre Johnson is the best movement shooter in the 2025 NBA Draft class. Made 54.8% of his 3s off screens as a Texas freshman. Over 40% on total catch-and-shoot 3-point attempts. Shades of Ray Allen.

🎙️ Eric Collins: "For people who are debating Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel, you're missing the whole point. You gotta fall in love with Kon Knueppel just because he is so uniquely gifted and it's gonna be good for so long." "The guy is fantastic. He is a real player. He understands where to be on the floor. He elevates the level of everyone he's playing with just because, literally, he gets so much attention no matter where he is because he is a knockdown shooter. I'm from Cleveland, OH... I never thought I'd see a better shooter with better form than Mark Price, but this guy is. And just because he's bigger and stronger, and he can shoot from farther distances because of that size."

🎙️ Kon Knueppel on fit with the Charlotte Hornets: "With talented guys like LaMelo (Ball), who has the ball a lot, and guys like Brandon Miller, being able to play off-ball with them and be effective, especially as a movement shooter spacing the floor, that will be a good fit."
