5-star SG Kon Knueppel commits to Duke Blue Devils
Milwaukee Wisconsin Lutheran five-star shooting guard Kon Knueppel has announced his commitment to the Duke Blue Devils.
Knueppel is the No. 17 overall prospect and No. 5 shooting guard in the 2024 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 1 player in Wisconsin. On3 rates Knueppel higher than any other major media recruiting services — rating him as a five-star prospect ranked No. 9 nationally.
Knueppel currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $208,000. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Kon Knueppel Scouting Summary
“Kon Knueppel is a strong-framed wing who is incredibly efficient on the offensive end. He sees the game well, both on and off the ball. Knueppel is an excellent passer, with vision in transition or in the half-court. He cuts with purpose off the ball, often finding open looks for himself and/or his teammates.
“…He is a smooth shooter with deep range, and his mechanics stay consistent both off the catch and the bounce. Knueppel is a good team defender, while his lateral quickness may be one of the few questions in his game. He has sneaky bounce at the rim and can put down a dunk in traffic. Shot 52% FG, 43% 3P, and 80% FT in 21 EYBL games this summer.”
