Pistons gifted Suns perfect defender to stop elite scorers

Of all the moves the Phoenix Suns made this offseason, bringing in Isaiah Livers barely registered. He missed all of last season with a nasty right hip injury, having been with the Detroit Pistons prior to that.

Detroit has elevated itself to contender status in the Eastern Conference, yet in a deflating loss to the L.A. Clippers recently, they didn't have anybody with the size and mobility to stop a resurgent Kawhi Leonard.

Leonard had a ridiculous 55 points in that victory, simultaneously turning back the clock and also reminding everybody that perhaps the Pistons aren't for real just yet.
