This achievement is even more remarkable considering his role within the team. From the very start of the season, Knuppel played with the confidence of a veteran, establishing himself not only as a shooting specialist but also as a reliable offensive option for Charlotte.
He concluded the season with an impressive average of 18.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game. Particularly noteworthy is his three-point shooting percentage of 42.5%, which, despite being early in his career, places him among the league's most efficient shooters.
His impact extended beyond personal statistics. Charlotte battled for a play-in tournament spot until the season's end, and Knuppel's consistent shooting contribution was a crucial factor in that success, as his movement and long-range threat created space for teammates.
An interesting statistic further highlights his historic season. On the list of top three-point shooters, Knuppel surpassed his teammate LaMelo Ball by just one made three-pointer. This made them only the second teammate duo in NBA history to occupy the top two spots for total three-pointers made, echoing the success of the legendary Golden State pair, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
