Duke's Kon Knueppel is a top NBA draft prospect
Cooper Flagg is gaining a lot of attention in college basketball, but his teammate, Kon Knueppel, is also showcasing his talent. Knueppel, a five-star prospect from Wisconsin Lutheran High School, is proving to be a top player alongside Flagg at Duke University. In his freshman season, Knueppel averaged 14.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. Duke had a strong year, finishing with a 31-3 record and winning both the ACC regular season and tournament titles. He even made the All-Tournament team. When Flagg suffered an ankle injury, Knueppel helped lead the team to victory. As the NCAA tournament starts, Duke is seen as one of the favorites to win the national championship. Both Flagg and Knueppel are expected to make a big impact, especially with Flagg returning from injury. Basketball runs in Knueppel's family. His uncle, Jeff Nordgaard, played for the Milwaukee Bucks, and his father was a top scorer at Wisconsin Lutheran College. Knueppel is projected to be a lottery pick in the upcoming NBA draft, following Flagg, who is likely to be the first overall pick. Fans are excited to see how both players perform as they aim for a national title and a chance to enter the NBA together.
