Kon Knueppel

Draft Notes

Knueppel is a big-bodied sweet-shooting wing with a legit NBA skill in his shooting ability. He’s a high feel player who always seems to be in the right place and make the right decision with the ball.

He’s mainly a below the rim player and isn’t a big time athlete by NBA standards but has size, strength and a really nice touch from mid range and from deep. He uses his size well to bump defenders off balance and create space for his shot.

While he might no be a primary scoring option in the NBA he’ll bring a lot of value to a NBA team with his shooting gravity.

He’s more of an off-ball player but he does have some creative juice with the ball in his hands, sees the floor well and is a capable play-maker.

He’s a strong defender who has great fundamentals and is a very good team defender.
