There is light at the end of the tunnel. Charlotte Hornets is developing a truly interesting project, in which everything revolves around the possibility that LaMelo Ball overcomes injuries, but also around a group of young players full of potential. Along with Miller, four players from the Draft have joined, promising strong emotions, with Kon Knueppel standing out.
A young, dynamic, attractive team to watch with a brilliant future. For a small market like Charlotte Hornets, the options to build an NBA championship contender team involve making good draft picks and developing all the young talent they can gather adequately. The initial steps have been brilliant; LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller are bursting with potential, but they need to forget about the cycle of injuries that have affected their performance. Now, they are accompanied by truly impressive rookies.
What has been seen in Kon Knueppel's Summer League performance sparks optimism. A sharpshooter who resembles Klay Thompson in his shooting mechanics, he is also capable of good ball distribution, creating off the dribble, and skillfully driving to the hoop. An offensive talent who needs to enhance his defensive skills to become the star he promises to be. Alongside him, the emergence of Ryan Kalkbrenner who shows promising signs in the paint.
This 7'1" tall young player will have opportunities due to the lack of presence in the paint. Good footwork, post play capabilities, and a notable shot blocker; many see him as a steal in the Draft. As if this weren't enough, forward Liam McNeeley amazed in the Summer League and could enjoy significant playing time to demonstrate he can be a player akin to Keegan Murray, contributing on both ends of the court. Overall, an exciting outlook for Charlotte Hornets.
