Luke Kennard will be entering the third season of his NBA career. With a solid second half of the season and playoff showing in his sophomore season, the expectations for his third season are higher than it will ever be.
After the Pistons traded Reggie Bullock, Kennard averaged 11.8 points per game, 2.4 assists, and 3.0 rebounds on 43.3 percent shooting from downtown; quality stats for a guy coming off the bench. More importantly, his minutes skyrocketed up from 20 a night to 26.3 a night, as he helped push the Pistons into the playoffs for the first time since the 2015-16 season.
