Luke Kennard

A thorn in the side of the Brooklyn Nets’ defensive attack throughout the night, Luke Kennard couldn’t have picked a better time to remind the NBA landscape of what active player leads the league in 3-point percentage. Perennially one of the game’s most proficient deep-range snipers, the smooth-shooting lefty works an intuitive pindown screen to the top of the key, finding just enough daylight to deliver a crowd-quieting 3-point dagger to extend the Memphis Grizzlies’ lead to nine with just three minutes to go. Kennard’s heroics helped ensure an entertaining road triumph on March 4, 2024. Mixing in highlights of all types on the way to a season-high performance, Kennard required just 11 shot attempts to douse the Nets with 25 points, two rebounds, seven assists, and six 3-point makes.
