Kon Knueppel’s shooting numbers are quietly absurd

Related Topics: Kon Knueppel

Kon Knueppel has been putting together a spectacular rookie season for the Charlotte Hornets. He has looked like a 10-year league veteran at just 20 years old, and the ridiculous numbers he's putting up serve to put his insane campaign into perspective.

After taking home Rookie of the Month honors in both November and December, Knueppel's greatness has become impossible to ignore. He's one of just two players in the NBA this season averaging 15 points and five rebounds per game while also shooting 42% from three-point range. The only other player doing that? None other than three-time MVP Nikola Jokic.
