🎙️ @AustinRivers25: "I don't like to give one person all the credit, because it's unity with that team, but Kon Knueppel has raised everyone's play." "My favorite attribute about him is there's no cool in him. He has no cool. He doesn't play cool. There's nothing about him that wants to be cool. He don't care. He goes out there and competes every single game. He plays hard." "Even though he's not a great defender, he tries. He works hard. He plays hard. He competes. He hits big shots. He doesn't have bad body language. When he misses, he doesn't throw his head. He's just solid." "When you talk about LaMelo (Ball) and everything that he brings—he's a little bit more eccentric and all these different things—and Brandon Miller, then you get this kid that comes in here and he's balling his ass off to the point where they're like, 'Hold up, we gotta get our sh-t straight. This guy's f-cking hooping.' And now they're all playing this way, and they're playing the right way." "I saw a play the other day: Knueppel drives, passes it to Brandon Miller. He had a good shot, but there was a better one next to him. Pump fakes, passes. Gives it up. I'm like, that play would have never happened before. They're playing good-to-great basketball now." "The coach, everyone gets a hand in the pot to take credit—I just firmly believe Kon Knueppel, just by example of how he plays and who he is as a person and just how he moves, just being solid and steady around a bunch of guys who were talented as hell and had every tool in the box, but they needed THAT. And I think that's been the biggest surprise." "We were talking about this draft for the All-Star thing, for the Rising Stars Challenge, and I was talking to T-Mac and those guys, and (Carmelo Anthony)'s like, 'I'm drafting Knueppel because I know he's gonna be one of the few guys in the Rising Stars that's not gonna come in here and play cool. He's gonna just compete. That's just who he is.'" "That's why that Duke team was so good—because Cooper's the same way. This draft class has guys who compete; they're dogs. That 'cool' sh-t is like... we got a very exciting young generation of guys who really wanna hoop. Cooper is not like, that dude—half his game is based off motor, you know what I mean? These guys are dogs. VJ (Edgecombe) is a dog." "Like, we haven't had this in—I don't know—the last draft class we've had where I've seen this. So it's exciting, and it's turning teams that we thought were like 5-6 years away—where Charlotte's like, 'Uh oh, here it is, it's coming.' You see it now." "That was the biggest surprise being around them, seeing when the coach would talk, everyone's in the huddle listening, seeing LaMelo direct stuff. I'm like, 'whoa, I've never seen this.' Like, it's happening. It's exciting." Full segment on The @ryenarussillo Show: — netflix.com/watch/82668356 — apple.co/49MHXYf
