Detroit Pistons: Jalen Duren set to thrive in Monty Williams’ offense

The Detroit Pistons hired head coach Monty Williams this summer in part to help fix their woeful offense, which has been among the worst in the NBA for the last four seasons.

Detroit was 29th in points per game this past season and their overall field goal percentage was the worst in the NBA. This isn’t all on Dwane Casey, as the Pistons prioritized developing their young players over actually winning games for most of his tenure, and to be fair to him, his offense worked a lot of the time, Detroit just didn’t make the shots.

Casey’s offense is designed to get open 3-point shots, and believe it or not, the Pistons got plenty of them, as they were 11th in the NBA last season in wide-open 3-point attempts.
