Luke Kennard is one of the best pure scorers in this draft. There are not a whole lot of things he can't do from a scoring standpoint, he shoots well from anywhere on the court, moves well without the ball for easy layups and floaters, and has some ability to post up smaller defenders. Although he is not the most athletic player on the court, he is crafty enough to create space. Kennard plays with a lot of confidence and isn't afraid to shoot the ball. He is slightly underrated in terms of his court vision and play-making ability and I believe he will be able to play some PG mins if needed in the NBA. Kennard struggles on the defensive end as he lacks the strength, length, and athleticism to stay with quicker guards (this will be even more pronounced in the pros). Overall Kennard is extremely good at one thing and that's scoring, he may prove to be a sneaky good pick somewhere in the first round.
