Brotherhood Draft Watch: Kon Knueppel Update
There may be other teams in play now for young Knueppel
Duke’s Kon Knueppel has had good and bad news, most of which you should ignore because draft gamesmanship is involved. However, we’ve seen a couple of sites now that suggest that the Charlotte Hornets and the Utah Jazz are considering him.
Those teams have the #4 and #5 picks in the upcoming draft.
There is also a bit of buzz surrounding Knueppel and Philly at the #3 pick but that might be a stretch.
Philly would be cool because Knueppel might team up with Jared McCain (there have been trade rumors swirling about McCain but that could also be because of the draft gamesmanship, so check back on that one).
Charlotte would be nice because he’d be close to Duke, but as we also tend to say, it’s nicer to go to a stable and well-run franchise than almost anything else.
Utah would be nice because he could team up with Kyle Filipowski and, more importantly, Utah has always been an intelligently run franchise.
