Luke Kennard: 2017, 12th Pick
While people might see Luke Kennard as a shoot-first guy that might’ve been slightly over-drafted, most people forget he averaged 19.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game as a sophomore at Duke, while also shooting just under 44% from three.
In the days leading up to the 2017 NBA Draft, Kennard – who left Duke after his sophomore year – became a hot commodity in NBA Draft circles, leading to him going 12th overall to the Detroit Pistons (one pick ahead of Utah’s selection of Donovan Mitchell). Despite his high selection in the Draft, Kennard’s minutes per game indicates he has yet to earn the trust of his NBA coaches. While the Clippers felt confident enough to sign him to a 4-year deal worth $54 million, his lack of playing time indicates they might already have some buyers remorse.
