The Kool-Aid Stand: Luke Kennard will close the gap between him and Donovan Mitchell

Ending up the dog days of summer, DBB is rolling out a series of players that our writers are optimistic about this coming season - even perhaps irrationally optimistic.

The two are bound to be linked.

Both shooting guards taken in consecutive order in the NBA Draft, it was impossible to praise Luke Kennard’s rookie season without someone out there chirping up that thePistons should have taken Donovan Mitchell.

Now, I’ll acknowledge from the get-go that this is a pretty strong Kool-Aid. Like dumping two packets into one pitcher kind of level and, of course, adding a generous addition of vodka.
