Tony Snell is an underrated X-factor for the Detroit Pistons

After trading for Tony Snell in June earlier this year, the Detroit Pistons immediately began to build a foundation for this season. There was a clear objective – to find better perimeter shooters and wing defenders.

The Pistons were somehow able to acquire Snell and a first round draft pick for Jon Leuer‘s bloated contract. It was one of the many indicators we’ve seen that Detroit is in good hands with Ed Stefanski. Snell didn’t play a vital role in the Milwaukee Bucks 60 win season a year ago, however he provided enough quality minutes and enough efficiency on both ends of the floor that Pistons fans had something to be excited about.
