With the Pistons' selection of Luke Kennard with the 12th overall pick in Thursday's draft, Caldwell-Pope could have more competition for playing time if he's retained.
Kennard is great shooter and gives the Pistons a weapon off the bench that should help improve their 28th overall three-point percentage from last season. While Caldwell-Pope has been a mainstay in the lineup at shooting guard over the last few seasons, he enters the summer as a restricted free agent, and at this point it's unclear if the Pistons plan to match any offer he receives. The selection of Kennard could be a move to provide insurance should Caldwell-Pope wind up elsewhere, though it's still a bit early to read too much into the pick.
