NBA Mock Draft 2017, Week 10: Markelle Fultz lands in Boston

Although the Toronto Raptors already have Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan running the show, adding additional scoring to the roster can’t hurt.

Duke’s Luke Kennard has been one of the best offensive players in all of college basketball this season. His 133.4 offensive rating ranks 33rd nationally. Much of Kennard’s progress has come from behind the 3-point arc where he’s knocking down 43.2 percent of his attempts after converting just 31.8 percent as a freshman. The higher number seems sustainable here given his career free throw percentage (88.1) and attempts per 40 minutes (6.9). Kennard has also been efficient at the rim (63.3 percent) and on other 2s (56.2 percent) as a sophomore. Efficient scorers at all three levels of the offense are tough to come by.

The 20-year old’s upside is probably limited by whatever his defensive ceiling is. He creates some steals (1.2 per 40 minutes), but otherwise isn’t a particularly good defender. He can also provide teams some level of defensive rebounding. His 13.9 percent rate on the defensive boards is a solid number for a 6-foot-5 guard. Quality efficient scorers, though, are tough to come by and Kennard is definitely that, which is why people should expect him to at least find some role at the next level.
