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 spotlight, too. A 6-foot-7, Knueppel’s been an integral part of the third-ranked Blue Devils’ core this season.

Freshman Kon Knueppel had 25 points and six 3-pointers to help Duke beat Miami to stay unbeaten in the ACC. The Hurricanes have lost six straight and 13 of 14.

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.
