This is one of the most ridiculous, self-aggrandizing thing I've ever read. Has @PWSullivan forgot how Cubs fans continued death threats on Steve Bartman for years (and booed Aramis Ramírez on every return to Wrigely)? But yea, tell us more about grudges. https://t.co/0zLEI6scdd
After a great visit, I’m blessed to receive an offer to play at the next level from @PointersMBB! Thank you to @dernbach4, @CoachGoldston, and the entire coaching staff for the opportunity!
We can’t wait to get our guys back on campus in a few weeks!
Please help us in welcoming our incoming class over the next few weeks!

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.
Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.
At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.
Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.
My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

After a great visit today, I’m blessed to receive an offer from Edgewood College! Thank you to Coach Meyer and the rest of the coaching staff for the opportunity! @NBW_hoops @pcf24up @WisBBYearbook@ColtonWilson23@PrepHoops_WI @CoachMeyer_ECBB
Kon Knueppel is the best pure shooter in the 2025 NBA Draft class and one of the best all-around prospects in the entire class.
Let’s take a look at his overall shooting package from three:
- 40.6% from three overall (84/207)
- 43.3% C&S threes (77/178)
- 42.9% guarded C&S threes (36/84)
- 43.6% unguarded C&S threes (41/94)
These are ELITE shooting numbers overall especially his C&S threes percentage. Kon is a dead-eye shooter.
- 38.6% threes off screens (17/44)
- 39.4% transition threes (13/33)
Kon didn’t get as much shooting opportunities off of screens or in transition as he should have but when he did he knocked them down. His C&S numbers above show exactly why he should have received more opportunities.
- 56.7% from two overall (97/171)
- 46.7% PnR twos (21/45)
- 63.1% finishing (77/122)
These numbers show that Kon is not just a three-point shooter. He scored the ball at an extremely high level inside the arc as well.
- 62.3% at the rim overall
- 62.1% at the rim in halfcourt (59/95)
- 33% rim rate
One part of his game that I believe is underrated is his ability to get to the rim and finish. Kon is an extremely good finisher in the paint off of two feet.
He shot 91.4% from the free-throw line (117/128) punishing teams for fouling him.
Knueppel was one of the most efficient offensive players in college basketball averaging 1.21 PPS on all shots and 1.14 PPP overall.
He finished with a 15.7 AST% which is higher than you’d think after first glance.
Kon had a great connection as the PnR ball handler with Khaman Maluach as the roll man which showcased his passing ability and upside.
He also had a 31.4 BTP% (big-time passes percentage) via @bjpf_
Kon lead Duke to an ACC Tournament Championship victory while bringing home MVP honors after Cooper Flagg went down with an ankle injury.
He averaged 21 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 4.7 RPG, and 1.7 SPG in three games in the ACC Tournament showcasing his all-around game.
Knueppel also held his own defensively with some eye popping defensive numbers. Here is what percentage his opponents shot against him via @JMannsTakes:
- 30.7% All FGA Against (85/277)
- 33.7% C&S (33/98)
- 24.5% OTD Jumpers (23/94)
- 31.8% Around the Rim (14/44)
He had a 130.7 offensive rating this year which is the 12th highest for a Freshman since 2008.
Duke was +32.4 in net rating this season with Knueppel on the floor vs off. He is just a winning basketball player full stop.
Kon is a very malleable player and I think he is someone that any team would be lucky to have. He can play off of/with any type of player and succeed. I absolutely believe he could be a starter on a championship team in the NBA.
The best team for Giannis Antetokounmpo is the Milwaukee Bucks. In a time where stars and franchise: have no loyalty to the each other, Giannis and the Bucks can stay loyal to each other and finding a way to win another ring. Milwaukee is his city. No city will love him more.
