Detroit Pistons: Why Trey Lyles is an upgrade from Tyler Cook

The Detroit Pistons inked forward Trey Lyles to a 2 year/$5 million deal to bring his services to the Motor City.

It was hardly a blockbuster deal, as Lyles is not going to be the guy to push the Pistons into playoff contention, but I do think it’s an addition worth exploring.

Lyles’ signing meant the end of the Tyler Cook era in Detroit, which angered some fans who liked Cook’s athleticism and ceiling as a guy who was still only 23-years-old and hasn’t been given much chance so far in the NBA.
