The 2024-25 season has already come to an end for most teams. Just a handful of teams are still in contention for an NBA championship, and the others are keeping tabs on the NBA Draft.
Fortunately for them, there will be plenty of talent to choose from. While the NIL era has led to the fewest number of players declaring for the NBA Draft, those who are ready to turn pro look like stars.
With that in mind, Kyle Boone of CBS Sports dug deep into the tape and the projections to figure out the next stop for some players, and he thinks Kon Knueppel will end up with the Brooklyn Nets.
Nets could draft Duke’s Kon Knueppel
“Knueppel finished as a 40% 3-point shooter and averaged 14.4 points per game on a Duke team that won 35 games and made the Final Four. He averaged 15 points and shot 55.6% from distance in the NCAA Tournament and has the tools to be a plug-and-play scoring guard,” wrote Boone.
Kon Knueppel #7 of the Duke Blue Devils
He believes the former Duke Blue Devils star will be the sixth-overall pick, and given the way he shoots the ball, it would certainly be more than justified to take him that high.
Of course, this will also depend on whether the Nets actually end up getting or keeping that pick, but he’s certainly the kind of floor-spacer who could help turn this franchise around.
