Kon Knueppel Season Outlook: Elite Perimeter Scoring Fuels Year 2 Leap

Coming off a historic rookie campaign where he led the league with 273 three-pointers, Kon Knueppel enters his sophomore season firmly entrenched as a centerpiece in Charlotte's starting lineup. Selected in the middle rounds with an ADP of 54.5, Knueppel offers elite perimeter value and positional flexibility on the wing alongside Brandon Miller.

Our models project another step forward for the 21-year-old, forecasting 32.8 minutes, 19.2 points, and 5.2 rebounds per game across 77 appearances. We also project him to shoot an efficient 42.6% from beyond the arc, solidifying his role as one of fantasy basketball's premier high-volume shooting threats.

While an early-season hamstring strain temporarily clouds his immediate availability, his rotational security is unquestioned once healthy. Knueppel should comfortably return mid-round draft value by providing dependable scoring, robust rebounding from the perimeter, and elite outside shooting.

Cameron Boozer 2026-27 Fantasy Outlook: High-Impact Rookie Starter in Memphis

Selected third overall in the draft, 19-year-old Cameron Boozer steps immediately into Memphis' starting power forward role alongside frontcourt partner Zach Edey. NBA general managers recently voted Boozer the favorite to lead this rookie class, a sentiment mirrored by fantasy managers who pushed his start rate up to 88% heading into the regular season.

Our models project an immediate workhorse role, forecasting 32.0 minutes per game across 75 appearances. We project Boozer to supply 15.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game on 48.5% shooting from the field. His polished inside-out scoring and secondary playmaking offer rare versatility for a teenage frontcourt prospect.

Drafted around an ADP of 80, Boozer profiles as an attractive mid-round selection with legitimate top-50 upside if his offensive usage surges. While defensive adjustment and rookie turnover variance remain mild risks, his secured starting minutes cement an exceptionally dependable fantasy floor.

Breakdown Cameron Boozer

    Overview

  • I couldn't find any stats of this player even playing a game. This is most likely due to a mispelling. Try typing in the partial player name and let autocomplete fill in his name for you to avoid this happening again. The other possible reason is that he hasn't played in the past 30 days which makes it impossible for me to assign him a value.
