    Yeah. He’s literally the only person who didn’t forget how to shoot once he got here. Definitely should try to keep him.

    said in the other thread that i'm guessing we've already told him the room mle is his if he wants to stay. i'd sign him for 4 years if that's what it takes (my guess is we want three, though). but that does mean that every other acquisition must absolutely be a defender. we can only trot out so many guys that can't contain even bench players off the dribble.

    One of the best players on the team already. I don't know if that says more about Kennard or the team.

    It’s Luke and we should stop with the back handed compliments. Amazing that Rob turned Gabe Vincent and a 2nd round pick into him. Just taken on its own.

    I’m scared to say it out loud, but so far he’s avoided the curse

    Im positively shocked, just hope he'll shoot more. He needs to launch at least 6 threes a game.

    That’s always been Luke’s problem. He just doesn’t shoot enough. I’d much rather he shoots 38% on 10 attempts than 50% on 4.
