Call it a slow start. Or maybe a sophomore slump.
Whatever it is that’s going on with Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya, it’s vexing to try to figure out in his second season. There were some flashes last season, when he had an exceptional week against some of the best forwards in the league.
After that, it’s been mostly quiet.
On one hand, he’s been playing behind Blake Griffin and Jerami Grant at power forward, the position the Pistons prefer for him, but since Griffin’s been out of the lineup, there still hasn’t been as much playing time for him.
