Ignore his worst category (blocks) and he's worth 1.50.

Our view

We're nudging the rookie up, not projecting a leap — he led rookies in made threes, shot 86% from the line, and didn't hurt you anywhere, so a 19.5-point sophomore step is a clean, believable bet. Just know the defensive stats are thin (sub-1 steal, almost no blocks), which keeps him a category-safe contributor rather than a difference-maker.

Kon Knueppel enters 2026-27 at #36 on our board — Round 3 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 20.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 33.2 minutes a night. The value is built on threes and scoring, with blocks the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-blocks builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 74 games.
