The 6-foot-5 guard has consistently been one of the most accurate 3-point shooters in the NBA, hitting 44.2% of his attempts over a nine-year career. Kennard replenishes some of the outside shooting the Suns lost over the weekend when they dealt Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale to the Charlotte Hornets for forward Miles Bridges.
