The Duke Blue Devils already reaped the rewards of having Kon Knueppel for a year.

Next up: Kager Knueppel, Kon's younger brother -- but not the last brother in the line.

Kager might be an even bigger problem on the floor than Kon, in the best way for Duke.

He can shoot it a lot like his older brother, but Kager is 6-foot-10.

Check out these highlights from Kager at Peach Jam, the premier AAU basketball event in the country:

An 8-for-13 line from 3 for a guy who is conceptually 6-foot-10 in the midst of growing a few inches in the last year? That's ridiculous.

Even if Kager had no other skill whatsoever, that'd be enough to make him a weapon for Jon Scheyer and the Blue Devils.

And as it turns out, he actually has a lot of other skills. He's an aggressive, attacking player on the glass and in the paint.

Kager grew up in a family of highly skilled brothers, including one who's already in the NBA, and it shows.

It's safe to expect big things out of Kager Knueppel at Duke, that's for sure.
