The Detroit Pistons have signed former Michigan State standout Jaden Akins to an Exhibit 10 contract, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac.
It’s not a signing that is going to rattle the foundations of the NBA, nor one that will even affect the Pistons roster, as Akins is likely just a training camp guy who will end up playing for Detroit’s G-League affiliate.
He’s not going to see the court for the Pistons unless something goes horribly wrong, but Detroit does need to add a steady stream of potential NBA talent in their pipeline, as they haven’t hit on a second-round pick or undrafted free agent in a long time.
