As a result, Charlotte's sharpshooter finished the season with 273 made three-pointers, just ahead of his Hornets teammate LaMelo Ball, who finished the year with 272. This shattered the previous rookie record (206) set by Keegan Murray (Sacramento Kings) in the 2022-23 season. It also marked the first time that a rookie ever led the league in three-pointers made.
Looking ahead, Knueppel and the Hornets will host the Miami Heat Tuesday in a Play-In Tournament elimination game, looking to get one step closer to the playoffs.
