Kon Knueppel Thread

A new way of looking at Kon’s athleticism. I took some top prospects and simply multiplied their weight times their “verticality” to determine “interior physical presence.”

All numbers are from the 2025 NBA combine.

Weight(lbs.) x inches of standing reach

  1. Flagg 221 x 106.5 = 23,536.5

  2. Knueppel 219 x 101.5 = 22,228.5

  3. Harper 213.2 x 102 = 21,746.4

  4. Bailey 202.8 x 107 = 21,699.6

  5. Edgecomb 193.2 x 101.5 = 19,609.8

  6. T.Johnson 190.4 x 101 = 19,230.4

Weight(lbs.) x the height touched(inches) on their standing vertical jump

  1. Flagg 221 x 135.5 = 29,945.5

  2. Knueppel 219 x 133 = 29,127

  3. Harper 213.2 x 132.5 = 28,249

  4. Bailey 202.8 x 134.5 = 27,276.6

  5. Edgecomb 193.2 x 131.5 = 25,405.8

  6. T.Johnson 190.4 x 133 = 25,323.2

It should be noted that Edgecomb and Bailey rank lower here but block a lot of shots in actual games. No doubt wingspan and burst can play a role. Or sheer effort. But I guess my point is that Kon offers something really unique athletically. He can not easily be moved in the paint. He offers interior presence, just not in the way we always think of it.
