Kon Air: The Kon Knueppel Thread

Easily his best game of the year, he is averaging 2.5 2pt FGM through 11 games. Last night he had 8. If he is that aggressive all the time then that would be great, he must have had the home town juices going.

I love when a prospect proves me wrong. I will praise you if you show me something I didn't believe was in your game. This kid is definitely much more than a role player. Has legit building block potential.

Teams are now aggressively running him off the three-point line now, and he responded last night by aggressively getting into the paint. This always needed to be the next evolution if his three-point shot was real, which it is.

I liked Kon but was upset about missing out on Cooper and Harper at the draft. Not so much now although I expect those top 2 picks to be huge stars. This selection might even make up for drafting Salaun the previous season over Buzelis.

Hey Coach, I know you just lost in heartbreaking fashion, would it be okay if I ask you about Kon Kneupple's performance?
Feels like this season is going to quickly head for that, hey you guys suck and we didn't expect you to win but this rookie played good.
As fans, we are just supposed to be happy with that as our new reality.

last 8 games
21.6 ppg on 48/38/93 shooting
7.0 rpg
3.4 apg
1.1 spg
2.5 tos - the part that needs improvement

Actually picking up a quality player and a couple of solid rotation players every draft cycle is something I'll take.

If we keep doing that we will start winning soon, if not next season.

Well, I Knew Kon was going to be good but I didm't think he would be the best player on our team as a damn rookie (though Miller could give him a run for $ if he's healthy).
Melo is entertaining and has some amazing talents but he is just not a winner.
Hopefully he stays healthy and we can get a good return for him.

Knueppel's consistency really is something else. to be a rookie and this reliable already is a rare thing.

GiggitySmalls · Post #1037 » by **GiggitySmalls** » Yesterday 4:20 am

So Kon is our best player now. Straight up, no exaggeration.

Kon might have a harden like ceiling.

I liked the pick but really thought Kon was gonna be a 15ppg 3 and D guy. Instead his scoring efficiency is like Kevin Durant- kid is on another planet. Kon isn’t just a role player, he is an elite scorer even this early into his career.

I think he’s white Ray Allen
