Luke Kennard on being ambidextrous: "I throw with my right hand; I’m pretty much right-hand dominant but I shoot with my left hand."

Kennard has really grown on me lately. It appears, I am not the only one his is growing on as he’s receiving interest as high as pick 6.
Interesting that Kennard says he has workouts with #Magic (6th), #Knicks (8th), #Mavericks (9th), #Hornets (11th), who pick before #Pistons.

Harry Giles says his knees are 100% healthy, making him an intriguing option for a team like the Pistons who need a player with high upside.
Harry Giles says his knees are 100 percent healthy but teams want to do exams at each workout just to get their own info. #Pistons

Zach Collins is one of the most fascinating players in this year’s draft, having stated out at Karl-Anthony Towns levels. And, he has handles that will only add to the intrigue.
Next: Is Zach Collins the next KAT?
