Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

Rated 64, Luke Kennard is a deep-bench shooting guard whose value in Backcourt is roster cover rather than regular minutes.

His best fit is the Floor general role, which runs the offense and sets up everyone else, with low usage of his own. His passing (70), basketball IQ (74) and speed (66) are exactly what that role asks for, and the game rates the match as “Suits him”.

For a shooting guard, his standout attributes are basketball IQ (74) and passing (70), in the top 34% and 50% of shooting guards respectively.

The trade-off is defense (52), in the bottom 9% of shooting guards — protect him with a strong defender alongside him.

Plan his minutes around matchups and blowouts rather than a fixed nightly share. His stamina of 62 means his energy drains quickly, so watch the ENR column.

At 29 he is close to his ceiling of 65.

He earns $11.0M a season with a transfer value of $22.5M — expensive for what he delivers.
