The Duke Blue Devils are set to produce two high-profile prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft, with Cooper Flagg projected as the top overall pick and Kon Knueppel anticipated to be a top-10 selection. Knueppel impressed during his freshman year, averaging 14.4 points, 4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game, while showcasing remarkable shooting efficiency with nearly 48% from the field and over 40% from three-point range. His skills as an elite shooter could make him a strategic fit for teams seeking to bolster their perimeter game.

According to Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman, Knueppel is projected to be selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the No. 9 pick. This potential pairing with Victor Wembanyama could greatly enhance the Spurs' offensive capabilities, as Knueppel’s shooting prowess would create more space for Wembanyama, allowing both players to maximize their impact on the court. However, with the draft on June 25, the final destination for Knueppel remains uncertain.
