The Hornets select Kon Knueppel with the 4th overall pick | 2025 NBA Draft

back to you with the fourth pick in the 2025 NBA draft the Charlotte Hornets select Khan Canipple from Duke University good call Andrea another Dookie drafted here in the top five canipple he comes from a basketball family here his mom Charie is the all-time leading scorer in Wisconsin Green Bay women’s history his father played collegiate ball and actually this is my favorite fun fact his dad Khan and his three uncles Clint Clay and Cole they’re known as the Flying Canipple brothers after they won a threeon-ree tournament and Cooper says that Khan is is the hardest player for him to defend in practice he watches a whole lot of Klay Thompson film he watches a lot of Jimmy Butler which I think makes sense j 65 shooting touch mirroring guys like that well he’s the best catch and shoot guy in this draft conan nipples got deep range shot 48% on corner threes and his shooting mechanics and his shot preparation uh his low base uh near perfect and he catches it to shoot it and you’ve got to take that shot away from him and he can get into the lane with his strength and makes plays off of two feet but as a shooter there aren’t many like him in this draft it’s just catch and shoot really deep range and that shot gives him such credibility he can drive a close out and again playing off two feet but one of the great things about Conanol is he is tough man he gets he’s physical he gets loose balls but that shot with his shot fake he’s a straight line driver when he gets in the lane off a shot fake he can make a play in the lane and he can make a pass but he’s got a versatile game he can shoot he can move without the ball and he can pass and he competes and plays hard all the time but I I love the way he gets so many loose balls it seems like he’s always around the ball and had the highest plus minus in division one this last year such a high basketball IQ you talked about him moving well without the ball his eyes find the rim as soon as his hands touch it and his demeanor never changes he’s so stoic so under control

Watch as Adam Silver announces that the Charlotte Hornets have selected Duke’s Kon Knueppel with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

    To be honest, many times when I was watching Duke last season expecting to see Cooper Flagg play, I saw myself watching Kon Knueppel, sometimes he seemed to be the best Duke on the court, he reminded me Klay Thompson a lot, he plays tough defense and he is an excellent shooter. I don´t know how he´ll translate his game to the NBA, but he could be really good. A Klay Thompson kind of player, alongside Lamelo, I want to see that.

    I feel bad for hornets fans they really chose this random over Tre Johnson, maluach and plenty better players 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Dude's highlight package included a bevy of open jumpers, a double pump fake, and a Rudy style loose ball dive. 😂

    People who don't like this pick either don't know what Charlotte need, or didn't watch College Ball. Ace Bailey is lazy and a liability, Tre Johnson would have taken the ball from LaMelo. Knueppel will fit right beside LaMelo as the starting SG/SF with Miller. He can catch and shoot and plays with energy while being responsible defensively. He carried the load for Duke when Flagg wasn't and often stole the spotlight, he was the best shooter in the Draft and he plays a lot like Klay and Middleton.

    As the Hornets fan, I didn’t think drafts could be any worse than they were with Jordan as owner. Boy, these new owners proved me wrong.

    Just another 2 way contract player…

    As a Black Man i must say the league is watered down. Talen as a whole has not gotten better just Bleaching of Sports. See how the half Kazar lady makes him look so good. SHE A AGENT .
