Cooper Flagg has already broken some NBA records in his rookie season. Now, his former Duke roommate, Kon Knueppel, has an NBA record of his own.

On Tuesday night, the Charlotte Hornets guard became the fastest player in league history to make 200 three-pointers, doing it in 58 games, passing Duncan Robinson (69 games) and Keegan Murray (77 games). 

The shot came early in the third quarter of the Hornets’ 131-99 victory over the Chicago Bulls, as Knueppel came off a screen and nailed the three from the top of the arc.

The fourth-overall pick by the Hornets in the 2025 NBA Draft, Knueppel is battling his former teammate and roommate for Rookie of the Year honors, taking a slight lead as Flagg continues to recover from a midfoot sprain he suffered on Feb. 10.
