2017-18 Pistons review: Jon Leuer needs to scramble to avoid ‘bust’ label

It seems like quite a long time since those first few months with Jon Leuer.

Before the All Star break last season, Leuer was posting 11 points per game on 59 percent true shooting percentage along with 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game. He was one of the bright spots for a Pistons steam struggling to meet expectations.

Since then though, he fell off a cliff. And apparently busted his ankle on the way down.

He came back from the All Star break looking like he’d forgotten how to play basketball and didn’t look much better even before spraining his ankle just eight games into the season - an ankle sprain that turned out to be a season ending injury.
