It might be time to call Charlotte the new City of Brotherly Love.

Kon Knueppel's family, which includes him and four brothers, stole the show at the NBA Draft when he was chosen No. 4 overall by the Hornets out of Duke.

And he's not the first famous brother on Charlotte's roster.

The Hornets already have LaMelo Ball, baby bro of Lonzo and LiAnglo and son of the outspoken LaVar.

The L-Ball brothers are now joined by the K-Knueppel brothers.

Kon is the oldest (technically Kon II, after his father).

After Kon, there are Kager, Kinston, Kash and Kid.

Man, those are some names.

Hornets fans will get to enjoy these groups. 

LaMelo's brothers won't be coming to play for the Hornets, but maybe Kon Knueppel can bring his brothers along with him to the NBA in the years to come.
