5. Luke Kennard

Luke Kennard is coming off a strong playoff performance, in which he was 9-for-15 from 3-point range and played admirably well without Blake Griffin in the lineup.

He averaged two more attempts per game from the field in his sophomore season than his rookie year. That number should jump up again. His shooting percentages decreased slightly but his scoring numbers went up, and he still shot 39.4 percent from 3-point range.

ESPN has Kennard ranked 175th in pre-draft rankings. He scored 587 fantasy points and should be able to improve on that with a shot creator like Derrick Rose driving through the lane as the duo looks to come off the bench.

Kennard was even more efficient on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers. He converted 42 percent on such attempts and is efficient working off the bounce inside the perimeter,

His most valuable asset in terms of fantasy basketball is as a scorer. He’ll occasionally pop off for a 20-point night but double figures on a nightly basis is a realistic goal.

His best consideration should be for a utility spot or a spot starter when the regulars are on an off night and an open spot is available.
