Luke Kennard‘s evolution in his third season is a product of what he showed during the 2019 playoffs, but he’s been hampered by injuries in his three NBA seasons.
Still, Kennard is valuable as the Pistons move forward with a rebuild. He turns 24 in June and will enter the last year of his rookie contract.
But the soon-to-be restricted free agent is also a valuable trade asset, and could fetch a nice return for a rebuilding team. The buzz surrounding Kennard’s involvement in trade discussions has left Pistons fans conflicted on whether to trade him or if he’s a viable piece moving forward.
