Here’s Charlotte Hornets star Brandon Miller on the huge late-game charge rookie Kon Knueppel took during Tuesday’s 103-101 road win vs. the Portland Trail Blazers (second drawn charge of NBA career).

(via Charlotte Hornets):

“He saved me. (Jerami Grant) got by me, winning play by Kon. That’s all we ask for is just everybody make all the winning plays, and Kon was in the position to make a play. So just having that mindset of being a winner in Kon, I think that’s kinda what separates him from all the other rookies.”
