Kon Knueppel's true shooting fell 12.2 points in last 10 games
The Hornets guard is scoring less efficiently than his season mark, and the next 10 games decide if this is a slump or the new normal.
Kon Knueppel is shooting 51.1% true shooting over his last 10 games, down from 63.3% for the 2025-26 season. That is a drop of 12.2 points, as of April 12, 2026.
True shooting folds in free throws and three-pointers, so a swing this size means the misses are coming from everywhere, not one bad matchup or one cold stretch from deep. Across 81 games this season, Knueppel has averaged 18.5 points and 31.5 minutes for Charlotte. A shooter with that workload and that season-long efficiency does not fall 12 points without something changing in how he is getting his shots.
For the number to hold, Knueppel would need to keep taking the same shots he took all year and keep missing them at this rate. That is the harder path to bet on for a player who shot 63.3% for 81 games. For it to change, he needs the efficiency to climb back toward his season mark over his next 10 games, the same window used to measure the current dip.
Either way, the next 10 games are the test. If Knueppel's true shooting stays near 51.1%, the season number stops being the reliable one. If it climbs back toward 63.3%, this was a slump, not a shift.
