The 4th Pick Nobody Expected Is Now Beating the #1 Pick

The 4th Pick Nobody Expected Is Now Beating the #1 Pick #cooperflagg #konknueppel #dukebasketball
Everyone thought the 2025 NBA draft was all about Cooper Flagg. The next great American prospect, the best freshman Duke ever had, drawing comparisons to Zion Williamson and Carmelo Anthony. There were other guys with massive hype too—VJ Edgecombe, Ace Bailey, Dylan Harper. But a few months into the season, all of them have been overshadowed by a Duke Blue Devil who wasn't the number one pick and who scouts said had the lowest ceiling of any top-five selection in years.
That guy is now the favorite to win Rookie of the Year. Kon Knueppel, the 6'6" shooter who fans are already calling the second coming of Klay Thompson. He's breaking three-point records left and right, and his journey is turning into a modern underdog story. But how is this slow, unathletic guy dominating in the NBA?
