Pistons mess up as former player thriving in key role elsewhere

Tim Hardaway Jr. had some nice moments for the Detroit Pistons last sesaon. If nothing else, he could be relied upon to take the court every night, starting 77 games, the second-most on the team behind Jalen Duren. He wasn't a world-beater by any means, averaging 11 points per game, but he shot 36.8% from 3-point range and was on the court most nights. That counts for something!

Now, just a few weeks into his Nuggets tenure, THJ has been stellar. His volume has stayed the same (exactly the same, actually, he's averaging 11.0 points once again) but his shooting percentages have skyrocketed and he's been more productive as a wing scorer than Denver's big offseason addition, Cam Johnson.
