It’s pretty impossible to learn a lot about Wisconsin basketball without running into the Knueppel family.
Five-star freshman [autotag]Kon Knueppel[/autotag] might have come to Duke for his collegiate career, but his father (also named Kon) held the all-time scoring mark at Wisconsin Lutheran College for more than 20 years. If you include his brothers, Kole and Klay, the Knueppel family has three of the top four 3-point shooting percentages in school history.
It should then come as no surprise that, during a Tuesday edition of The Brotherhood Podcast, Knueppel looked within his family for role models.
“Probably my dad,” Knueppel said when asked who he looked up to on the court. “Just watching him play all my life, how to play the right way, how to get others open, get others involved, communicating on defense, doing all the little stuff.”
Knueppel’s father was inducted into the Wisconsin Lutheran Hall of Fame in 2014, and Klay now coaches the school’s women’s basketball team.
