The 6-foot-7 freshman averaged 14.4 points and shot 40.7 percent from 3-point range in 39 games this past season.
He was the Blue Devils' second-leading scorer behind fellow freshman and projected No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg.
Knueppel made the ACC All-Freshman team and All-ACC second team and helped Duke (35-4) reach the Final Four.
With Flagg injured, Knueppel took over and earned ACC tournament MVP honors with 63 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists in three games.
Knueppel, 19, is ranked No. 8 in the ESPN projections for the NBA draft, scheduled for June 25-26 in New York.
