Pistons desire more aggression in Kennard’s play

Related Topics: coach, Rex Walters

Auburn Hills — After Thursday’s practice, Luke Kennard put up some extra shots with assistant coach Rex Walters, looking to stay sharp.

Shot after shot, fake after fake and jump after jump.

During one set, Kennard went 10-for-11 on corner 3-pointers.

That hasn’t translated to games, though, as Kennard has missed half of the Pistons eight games, including being inactive for the last three on the West Coast trip.

The practice performance is a tantalizing teaser of Kennard’s potential, the upside to what enticed the Pistons to select him 12th overall in this summer’s draft.
