Kon Knueppel has been on an absolute tear this season, sitting atop the league with a staggering 243 made threes. But the gap is anything but safe with Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic trailing him at 238, applying real pressure as the season winds down. Even a fellow Charlotte Hornet, LaMelo Ball, has surged into the conversation with 220 triples.
The Lakers caught fire in March, ripping off nine straight wins and climbing to the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. At the center of that run has been Doncic, who has looked virtually unguardable—pouring in 40 points per night and knocking down around six threes a game with effortless confidence.
