NBA Summer League: No. 4 pick Kon Knueppel leads Hornets to first title
Kon Knueppel's Charlotte Hornets career is off to a decent start. The No. 4 pick of the 2025 NBA Draft led the Hornets to their first Summer League title, holding off a Sacramento Kings comeback in a 83-78 championship game win on Sunday. Knueppel led his team with 21 points and made the biggest shot of the night with a 3-pointer in the final minute. The shot put the Hornets up four, which became important when the Kings' Isaac Jones made a 3-pointer 10 seconds later. The Kings had to start fouling when the Hornets got the ball back and never got a chance to complete what would have been an 18-point comeback. Isaac Jones, who powered the Stockton Kings to a G League championship last year, led Sacramento with 24 points and 11 rebounds. This article will be updated with more information.
