Another reason to join the Yang gang.

Ive been Yang Gang posting in the Charlotte sub ever since I found out about Yang lol.

I think people are getting sucked into the white shooter stereotype, and it's affecting how they project Knueppel. I see a lot of Khris Middleton in his game, I think that's a really solid comp for him.

I can see Middleton minus 2 inches in height and minus 5 inches in wingspan. Of course, the result of that isn't Khris Middleton but is a SG-sized player with the slowest feet and movement skills among any starting guard in the NBA.

Still better than comps like Dalton Knecht and Luke Kennard...

Idk that Khris Middleton losing half the physical traits that give him advantage is as different from Luke Kennard as you seem to think

To be fair, I thought Kennard was about 2 inches shorter than he is....so it might not be so far off. But Knueppel has like 25 lbs on him, which is the larger point.

The highest I would place him on my mock is at 10 to Houston. It's laughable that Jonathan Givony has him at number 4 (higher than Ace Bailey, a superior prospect despite his flaws). Any team that picks Kon in the top five is smoking crack lol.

He definitely did the same trickery that Reed Sheppard did last year to make his vertical look more impressive than it actually is :lol:
