Knueppel Dominates with 28 Points, 6 Threes; Leads Rookies in Scoring

This comes after being named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for October/November, where he leads all rookies in scoring and three-pointers made, maintaining elite production with 47/40/90 shooting splits over 883+ minutes. He has seen increased usage due to LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller's absences.
