The Pistons are holding on to what looks to be one of the big pieces of their future.

They announced Thursday that they will exercise the team option for 2020-21 for guard Luke Kennard, who was the 12th pick in the 2017 draft.

Kennard, 23, is in the third year of his rookie-scale deal and is slated to make $5.3 million next season. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard is the Pistons’ best young prospect.
