Duke freshman phenom reveals 5 NBA teams interested in drafting him.
Duke will be the most popular school to pick from at the 2025 NBA Draft.
One of the Blue Devils’ standout freshman already has a ton of suitors.The Hornets have the highest pick of those five teams, at No. 4.
The Nets pick at No. 8.
The Bulls have No. 12.
The Hawks are No. 13.
The Magic are all the way down at No. 16.
For a couple of those teams to land Knueppel, they might need to trade up.
He fits the modern NBA with his length, shooting ability and sneaky-strong basket attacking.
He’ll be either the second or third Duke player off the board after Flagg goes No. 1 overall. Freshman center Khaman Maluach is also in the picture.
Knueppel will likely have more meetings, too, and then workouts in the weeks to come.
Someone will wind up with a special basketball talent, and not the only one from Duke.
Speaking at the NBA Draft Combine on Wednesday, Kon Knueppel revealed that he’s already met with five teams.
Those meetings were with Chicago, Charlotte, Brooklyn, Atlanta and Orlando.
Knueppel is a surefire top-10 talent after a standout freshman season as the Robin to Cooper Flagg’s Batman.
