See Kennard in action Monday in Chicago It really shouldn't have been much of a surprise.
Luke Kennard, the sharpshooting 6-foot-4 guard from
Franklin (Ohio), won the POWERADE Jamfest 3-point contest Monday night at the University of Chicago.
This is the same guy who averaged 38.1 points per game and shot almost 50 percent from the 3-point line (100 of 204) during the regular season. The East standout scored 23 points in the state finals and now gets ready for Wednesday's 38th McDonald's All-American Game at the United Center.
