13. player. 73. . SG. Duke. Luke Kennard

HT: 6’6″  WT: 202  WINGSPAN: 6’5 ¼”  Age: 21

He’s a bit older at 21, his size/length are average and he’s not as athletic as some of the other players in his position group, but Luke Kennard can flat score the ball. He’s a great shooter — 52-44-85 at Duke last season — a crafty scorer and has a good feel for the game offensively.

He’ll give his best effort on defense, but will have a hard time staying in front of people on the NBA. Jimmer-like, but with proper NBA size.
