Knueppel Breaks NBA Rookie 3-Point Record

Charlotte Hornets forward Kon Knueppel made history on Saturday by setting the new NBA record for most 3-pointers by a rookie in a single season. The sharpshooter tied the previous record held by Sacramento Kings' Keegan Murray late in the first half during a fast break, before eventually breaking it with another three-pointer.

Knueppel had a strong first half performance, going 5-for-8 from beyond the arc with his first four attempts finding the net. This achievement cements the rookie's reputation as one of the premier shooters in the league, even in his debut season.
