He's one of our few talented pieces worth hanging onto.
The shooting has been as advertised and the all-around game he showed flashes of in college is starting to translate to the NBA level now that he's getting consistent playing time and touches.
Defense.. best described as meh. Not a turnstyle, but certainly no great shakes either.
If we're trading Kennard, we should be looking at a Mikal Bridges level prospect. Seems like it's been eons since we've had a proper wing prospect. [Doumbaya is a big].
Unfortunately, ownsership and Arn Tellem look to be meddling and getting in the way of trading the pieces we don't need for whatever we can get. Rose, Drummond, etc.. Even if it's just low firsts, multiple seconds, or salary relief, we have no real reason to hold onto them.
I could care less about how buddy-buddy Drummond and Rose are with the aforemention power brokers for the Pistons [Gores, Tellem, amongst others.]
Before the season started Gores' thought we had a playoff level core; I'm paraphrasing here, but something along the lines of "We have a good team, I really like our team, etc."
