Bird taking like 1 three a game shouldnt count imo
Kon Knueppel is the Michael Jordan of Pat Connaughtons
Yk the projection for Kon is quite a wild thing, NBA rookies aren’t this good of shooters in that big of a role off the bat! I’m so excited for what he can do in the future
Based on what he’s shown so far, this looks very sustainable. Nothing about his performance over the past month feels like an outlier. He’s been awesome, really.
Kon “Larry Bird” Knueppel
Better than flag!
I wanna know how many more attempts Kon has vs Larry. Either way, tremendous group to be a part of.
Consider, for a moment, that he is expected to IMPROVE. He’s already VERY good.
I’ve said it in another thread but this is 109% Kon’s FLOOR.
His scoring 30 a night isnt sustainable now but hik getting 20/5/5 while close to 40% from three EITH GOOD DECISION MAKING should be what we expect going forward.
He might even mess around next year or year three and average his first 50/40/90 season because he’s plenty capable of it.
I have Kon above Bird but below Kareem all time right now.
