Detroit Pistons: Bruce Brown is better than Luke Kennard. Who knew?

The careers of Bruce Brown and Luke Kennard have taken surprising turns since they left the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons drafted Kennard 12th overall, famously ahead of superstar Donovan Mitchell (oops) and eventually traded him after realizing that slow dudes who can’t defend and have the knees of a 55-year-old are probably not worth building around.

The Clippers didn’t get the memo and shelled out a boatload of money for Kennard to sit on their bench while the Pistons walked away with Saddiq Bey, laughing all the way.
