## Resource

Kon Knueppel, the young shooting guard who’s already crushing rookie records, just cracked HoopsHype’s top 7 list—way ahead of his peers. He shot 42.5% from three on nearly 8 attempts per game as a rookie, outshooting Jalen Brunson and earning All-Rookie First Team honors despite losing Rookie of the Year to his own teammate. With a max contract looming and Charlotte’s roster overhauled with big names like Naz Reid and Dennis Schröder, the Hornets are primed to end their decade-long playoff drought—and they open the season against the Nets on October 21.
