Detroit Pistons get Flint native Monte Morris from Wizards

The Detroit Pistons have yet to sign any free agents, but they did make their second trade of Friday, the start of the NBA free agency period, by trading a second-round pick to the Washington Wizards for veteran point guard Monte Morris.

Morris, 28, a Flint native, averaged 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.4 rebounds in 27.3 minutes per game with the Wizards last season. He has long been one of the league’s unheralded, but secretly really effective point guards. He can be relied on to hit roughly 54% from inside the arc, 38% from the perimeter, 83% from the line, and to never turn the ball over.
