While plenty of deserving attention has been on Duke forward and projected No. 1 draft pick Cooper Flagg this season, wing Kon Knueppel won’t be denied his spot

So much of the 2025 NBA Draft discussion surrounds the Duke Blue Devils, as it tends to do. Cooper Flagg looks like a virtual lock to land at number one, turning eyes towards him whenever he steps on the court. We shouldn’t forget Duke’s other talented prospects, notably freshman wing Kon Knueppel.

Kon Knueppel played the best game of his young college career on Tuesday night, leading the Duke Blue Devils to a resounding 89-54 victory over the Miami Hurricanes at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
