Kon Knueppel recorded 21 points (8-of-21 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Cavaliers.
For the second time in three games, Kneuppel grabbed 11 rebounds, pushing his double-double tally to four. The Hornets’ rookie has been a top-50 player over the past two weeks, remaining one of the most productive rookies in fantasy basketball. If there comes a point when the Hornets decide to sit LaMelo Ball, Kneuppel is one of the players who stands to benefit because of his ability to play on or off the ball.
