With the Tigers playing the way they are it's easy for some sports fans to start thinking ahead to the upcoming Pistons' season, which hopefully will be better than last year.

The Pistons are hoping Thursday marks the start of something good.

The Pistons selected Duke shooting guard Luke Kennard with the No. 12 pick in first round. They did so with the thought of addressing a need for better outside shooting.

Rod Beard of the Detroit News writes:

Kennard (6-foot-6) impressed the Pistons in his workout at the practice facility on June 10 and by his shooting performance at his pro day. Kennard, regarded as one of the best shooters in the draft, hit 44 percent from beyond the arc last season for the Blue Devils, and looks to be an immediate fit with the Pistons, who ranked 28th in 3-point shooting.

“He can really play offensively. He is skilled guy with a polished offensive game,” Van Gundy said. “He can shoot the ball, he’s got great footwork but the think I liked is he can make plays off the dribble and he can pass the ball.

And so what if he looks a lot like President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

 

 

Don't get too concerned that he looks a little too much like President Donald Trump
