Knueppel needed only 58 games to tally up his 200th three-pointer &#8211; 11 less than previous record holder Duncan Robinson &#8211; and is also just the second rookie to reach the milestone. With a league-leading 201 three-pointers, Knueppel only needs six more to break Keegan Murray&#8217;s record of 206 in 2022-23 for the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/basketball\/nba\/teams\/sacramento-kings\/23\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sacramento Kings;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Sacramento Kings<\/a> for the most threes made by a rookie in their first season.
