Detroit Pistons: A comprehensive guide to the Pistons’ free agency targets

Reserve wings with potential

Wings and guards are more readily available to take a chance on so the Pistons should consider all their options, even with prospects already on the roster. Emmanuel Mudiay has been solid when given opportunities and would be a cheap alternative to take a chance on as he is still only 24. Efficiency is an issue but the potential is there. Similarly, Dwayne Bacon may top out as a career reserve on a clogged Charlotte bench but his 43.7 percent from 3-point range in 2018-2019 deserves a sniff.

Both Allonzo Trier and Damyean Dotson averaged over 10 points per game for the Knicks last season, shooting 39.4 percent and 36.8 percent from three-point range respectively, before taking a step back this year. Taking a chance on Knicks’ prospects makes sense as the mess that their situation has been is not conducive to success for a young player.

The group of wings in this range is highlighted by Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who peaked so far in 2018-2018 at 13.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. DeAndre Bembry has positional versatility and has shown flashes on both sides of the ball throughout his time in Atlanta. He profiles as the type of prospect that Dwane Casey has succeeded with before and would be interesting to watch him learn under the coach should he remain in Detroit.

Finally Theo Pinson could be one of the odd men out as the Brooklyn Nets look to add more veterans this summer to complement their stars coming back from injury. Pinson has shown flashes as a scorer, mostly in the G-League, averaging 19.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists on 38.3 percent from distance. Yes, it is the G-League but if he is available for a minimum deal he is worth the call.
