This will never happen due to draft positioning, but can you imagine the open looks Kennard would get with DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis on the inside? Kennard would feast in this offense and likely make a huge difference in playoff seeding.

New Orleans needs a starting shooting guard that can score — Kennard fits that mold perfectly.
