Luke Kennard has a great chance to make a similar jump in his first season with the Detroit Pistons.
In Kennard’s freshmen year at Duke, his offensive production lacked efficiency. He scored 11.8 points per game on an average of 26.7 minutes. These are solid stats for a freshmen coming off the bench, but his field goal and three point percentages struggled at 42 percent and 31 percent respectively.
Those numbers are much too low for a shooting guard whose strengths all rely on scoring the basketball.
Staying for his sophomore season has shown to be the correct choice for Kennard.
