Detroit Pistons point guard Derrick Rose and shooting guard Luke Kennard have been running the Pistons' second unit in the first two days of training camp.

Rose likes what he sees from Kennard, calling the sharpshooter his “young Kyle Korver.”

Last season, Luke Kennard struggled with injuries and didn’t really get into a rhythm for the Pistons after the All-Star break. He played in 63 games during the regular season and put up 9.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 43.8 percent from the field, 39.4 percent from the 3-point line and 83.6 percent from the charity stripe.

Once he got healthy, Kennard started to play like the guy Detroit envisioned it was getting when they drafted him. Kennard averaged 11.7 points after the All-Star break and put up 15.0 points in the Pistons’ four-game playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks while shooting 48.9 percent from the floor and a staggering 60.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Kennard should get a lot of wide-open looks playing alongside Derrick Rose, who is a strong driver and attracts double-teams when he puts his head down.

When Rose played with Kyle Korver on the Chicago Bulls, the former MVP always said he would drive on the side Korver was on because he knew defenders wouldn't leave Korver.

That would allow Rose a free lane to the basket.
