Conn Knuepel in NBA history
We knew it was only a matter of days, and history would record it against the Cavaliers what Knuppel could became the fastest player to reach 100 career 3-pointers.
The rookie from Charlotte needed just 29 matches to achieve that, beating the competition as his predecessor, Lauri Markkanen, waited until his 41st match to reach 100 shots awarded. It was 2017/18. For his part, Keegan Murray and Luka Dončić waited for the 42nd meeting. For the record, Stephen Curry has reached this total in 58 games…
“I think first of all it’s his natural shooting talent., replied his coach Charles Lee on the qualities of the 4th selection of the 2025 Draft. “He has a phenomenal foundation. His shot preparation is early, his mechanics are clean to the finish, with great consistency. His mechanics are really good, so kudos to his mom and dad, Duke coach Jon Scheier and everyone who helped build his overall shooting technique.”
Another record in his eyes
Author of 20 points against the Cavaliers, Kon Knuepel is No. 2 in the NBA in awarded shots, behind Donovan Mitchell but ahead Stephen Curry !
If he’s not plagued by physical issues and keeps up the pace, he should explode the rookie 3-point record, held by Keegan Murray with 206. If he keeps the same average, Charlotte’s scorer should approach 290 points!
“During the whole match, he works very well without the ball. He understands how to find space when his teammates enter the game” continues his coach. “In transition, he’s always willing to sprint to the corners or cut through the middle, depending on what’s asked of him during the matchup. (…) When he sets screens, he’s very dynamic: he’s shown that he can be versatile, both coming out from behind the arc after the screen and playing between the lines. And I think that also disrupts the defense and allows him to create an open shot.
