Summer League disappointment may force the Pistons' hand

The Detroit Pistons could use some inexpensive depth at power forward and were hoping 2nd-year player Bobi Klintman could step into that role in some capacity.

I don’t think anyone expects a 2nd-round pick who had an up and down rookie season in the G-League to suddenly step into a big role for a team that has playoff aspirations, but Klintman hasn’t even looked like a back of the bench guy so far in Summer League.

He’s rebounded well and shown flashes as a passer, racking up three assists per game in an obviously small sample size, but he’s also turned the ball over a ton, committed a lot of bad fouls and only shot 36 percent from the floor.
