The Detroit Pistons added Caris LeVert to give them scoring punch off the bench, but they will quickly regret the signing. The departures of Malik Beasley, Dennis Schroder, and Tim Hardaway Jr. left a void. Detroit made a massive leap behind the offensive upgrade these three helped provide, but LeVert won’t be such a seamless fit in the Motor City.
The Pistons lost a ton of shooting, and LeVert won’t make it up. He took 4.4 3-point attempts per game last season and has never taken more than 5.5 a night over an entire season. The 6’6 wing is a career 34.
