The Detroit Pistons drafted Luke Kennard because what he could do offensively, particularly from 3-point range.
They’ll get no argument from Kennard’s fellow rookies.
The former Duke star, who the Pistons selected No. 12 overall last June, was voted by his peers as the class’ best shooter in NBA.com’s rookie survey posted Tuesday. And, it wasn’t particularly close.
Kennard, who shot 44 percent from 3-point range in his final season at Duke, ran away with 48.6 percent of the vote, taken from a survey of 39 rookies. Charlotte’s Malik Monk was second at 13.
