The Detroit Pistons have been trying to figure out their backup point guard situation since Dennis Schroder left in free agency, and currently don’t have a clear-cut answer. Their de facto answer on the depth chart is likely Marcus Sasser, but they may be able to get an upgrade on the trade market. One name to keep in mind is last year’s third overall pick, Reed Sheppard.
Sheppard did not play much in his rookie season, and didn’t look great when he did get in. Over 52 games and 12.6 minutes per game, he averaged just four points a game on 35 percent shooting from the field and 34 percent from three.
