Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel has the capabilities of becoming one of the league's best three-point shooters in the league early in his career, which is something that has helped him draw striking similarities to future Hall of Famer Klay Thompson.

Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel received a pleasant surprise during a recent interview with Taylor Rooks for Bleacher Report. Knueppel has stated in the past that he hopes to model his game after Klay Thompson's and received a special message from the Dallas Mavericks star, via Rooks.

Kon Knueppel led the Charlotte Hornets to a blowout win over the Dallas Mavericks at the NBA Summer League on Monday night.

Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel must be having a dream-like couple of weeks.
