Luke Kennard undoubtedly is and will continue to play a vital role for the Detroit Pistons. The 12th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, the Pistons are banking on him to strengthen the team -- averaging 33 minutes this season, while making his presence felt on court as their starting shooting guard.

Currently, he's shooting 40% from behind the arc and 45% from mid-range, which speaks for itself. However the main worry remains his teammates, that they are not yet stepping up to the plate in an unpredictable Eastern Conference this season.

As he's only 23, a promising future lies ahead and hopefully he will continue to progress while refining his game under the tutelage of Derrick Rose, Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin among others who will mentor him along the way.
