5 three-pointers in a single game! The Hornets shooter became the first rookie, officially surpassing the No. 1 pick

In this game, the Hornets resisted desperately, but due to lack of strength, they lost to the Eagles 110 to 113. It was a pity that they were only 3 points behind. The Hornets are still in bad shape this season. Their strength is indeed relatively poor and it is difficult to win. Facing a slightly stronger team, they can only try not to be defeated.

In this way, the Hornets can focus on developing rookies. The first-round pick they selected this season, Knipur, is a malleable talent. The Hornets have always been considered not good at drafting. They always select players who are not good enough and waste high-ranking draft picks.

But this year, Knippel selected by the Hornets is indeed quite good, that is, his combat ability may be the first among rookies. In today's game, Knippel started for 34 minutes and scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block on 9 of 17 shots. He also made 7 of 11 shots from beyond the three-point line.

In this way, Knippel has made 5 or more three-pointers in a single game 6 times this season, while all other rookies this year have only done it 6 times. Among them, Coward of the Memphis Grizzlies did it twice, Love of the Portland Trail Blazers did it once, Proctor once, Will Richard once, and Edgcomb of the Philadelphia 76ers once.

In the latest NBA rookie strength list, Knipur has also overtaken the Dallas Mavericks' No. 1 pick Flagg and climbed to the top of the list. It has to be said that as a white pitcher, Knipur performed surprisingly well and became the most powerful rookie at present even though he was not widely favored.
