In the Ringer's latest NBA mock draft by J. Kyle Mann, Knueppel is projected to go No. 5 overall to the Utah Jazz. Aside from him and Flagg going in the first five picks, Mann also projected that fellow five-star Duke freshman Khaman Maluach will be a top 10 pick, as he had him slated to go one pick after Knueppel to the Washington Wizards.

The Brooklyn Nets are one of the teams at the 2025 NBA Draft Combine this week and one of the players they met with was Duke forward Kon Knueppel.

Knueppel was projected as the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft by Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman in his latest mock draft. He possesses a 6-foot-6, 217-pound frame and was named NCAA All-Region, All-ACC and was the MVP of the ACC Conference Tournament.
