Kennard missed most of the 2019-20 season due to knee tendinitis. Over 28 games, the 12th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft averaged career-highs for points (15.8), assists (4.1) and rebounds (3.5) as a starter for Detroit.

Shamet, who reportedly is headed to Brooklyn, has been solid during his first two seasons in the league with averages of 9.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 24.7 minutes. He was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 26th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.

The 19th overall pick was used to select Saddiq Bey.
