With the national perception and overall recognition of Luke Kennard‘s game rising, the Detroit Pistons are hoping to see Kennard take an even bigger leap this season. A year ago, he averaged 9.7 points per game on 43 percent shooting, and 39 percent from three. These aren’t bad numbers, however on a team whose main source of offense is contingent on hitting perimeter shots, the Pistons will be expecting a lot out of Kennard.
Through the first four games of the season, Kennard is averaging 18.2 points per game on 46.8 percent shooting, including 45.5 percent from the three point line.
