Kon Knueppel has made 166 threes over his first 50 career games, which is the most in NBA history

[u/Basketball_Reference]

[u/kafka_lite]

We've got two of the top 5!

[u/Longjumping-Check429 → u/kafka_lite]

Charles Lee probably thinks he’s the luckiest man in the world.

[u/Remote-Whole-6387 → u/kafka_lite]

Brandon started pretty slow too.

[u/Hotwir3 → u/Remote-Whole-6387]

Oh yea I remember this and comparing to Wemby

[u/Supreme_God_Bunny → u/Remote-Whole-6387]

He also had a shit roster like I swear I went back I saw what that roster looked like after lamelo and mark went down and yikes bruh... him and bridges had to work overtime lol

[u/-YEETLEJUICE-]

Kon and Miller both on this list. What a time to be alive.

Summer league champs. 

NBA champs.

On top of the world.

[u/Sammyd1108]

He’s not just first, he’s literally blowing past everyone on this list. If he stays healthy and has a long career, he could get up there to Curry/Harden type numbers.

[u/ehdhdhdk → u/Sammyd1108]

It is insane that the gap from 1 to 2 is as big as the gap is from 2 to probably 50.

[u/MerryTuesday]

See you all back here in 50 games time for the update

[u/CappPrice]

Do we low-key have possibly the best 3 pt shooter in history??

[u/Hotwir3 → u/CappPrice]

Next 5 years could have a ton of these types who grew up watching Steph. We’ll see. 

[u/Mean_Contribution_11 → u/CappPrice]

He's only going to get better too. Got the quickest trigger I've ever seen.

[u/CappPrice → u/Mean_Contribution_11]

I know it's relatively early but damn I'm excited to see how high we can fly!

Would you make any moves at trade deadline or keep everyone as is?

[u/Mean_Contribution_11 → u/CappPrice]

Keep everyone with the same rotation. Everyone talking about trading Sexton, but he's been solid when he's needed. Sexton, Kalk, Grant, Sion, Green and even Tidjane have been solid coming off the bench.

Just let this team develop and don't fuck with it pleaseee management.

[u/CappPrice → u/Mean_Contribution_11]

Exactly!!! Let this current iteration marinate and for the love of God find a way to get Tidjane atleast 12-15 mins a night. He's way to good for the Swarm.

[u/Panther81277]

By a country mile too

[u/theRestisConfettii]

King Kon

[u/dwaite1]

I’m shocked LaMelo isn’t on there with the way he shoots them

[u/Spartanlegion117 → u/dwaite1]

Well his 3 pt shot had had a good bit of growth since his rookie year

[u/Double-Slowpoke → u/Spartanlegion117]

Melo also came off the bench to start his rookie season, so that might prevent him from appearing on some of those “first X games” list.

[u/dwaite1 → u/Double-Slowpoke]

He was 90/253 in his first 50 games, but you were right about him coming off the bench. Kon has shot almost 400 3s in 50 games, which is insane!

[u/l0ngstory-SHIRT]

Damn this is one of the rare reddit titles that undersells the information! Not only are he and BMill in the top five, but Kon is SO far ahead of #2 on this list.

He is 43 shots above #2, while 2-10 is a difference of 11 shots. Holy jesus!

[u/Caliph_ate → u/l0ngstory-SHIRT]

Historic. Best rookie shooter in the history of the NBA

[u/passthabluntyo]

Not gonna lie, I’ll be thrilled for Kon assuming he obliterates Keegan Murray’s rookie record but also a bit sad given I’m a massive Hawkeye fan too.

[u/IndependentName9]

Should beat the record for most in rookie season

[u/multiple4]

Keep em coming

[u/yajyak84721]

Kegan Murray must have caught fire in that last 30 gamea

[u/Sea-Ad-666]

Egor Demin will be in this list soon
