As such, the Charlotte Hornets sensation delivered another epic feat on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In just his 29th career game, he became the fastest player in NBA history to drain 100 triples.
A three-pointer with 49.7 seconds left in the first quarter propelled Knueppel toward the history books, surpassing the mark established by Lauri Markkanen (41 games) during the 2017-18 season as a rookie for the Chicago Bulls.
Drafted as the No. 4 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft, Knueppel has been an absolute standout for the Hornets so far and a new gem on the franchise's core which is composed of LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges.
Entering the matchup against the Cavs, he is averaging 19.4 points, 5.4 boards and 3.6 assists as an early Rookie of the Year candidate.
