Detroit Pistons: Who might not return with Cade Cunningham on the way

Detroit Pistons on the chopping block: Frank Jackson – Stay

On the other end of the free-agent spectrum, Frank Jackson remaining with the Pistons becomes an even bigger priority going forward. The best way to take advantage of the expert passing skills of Hayes and Cunningham is to add explosive shooters to the lineup. Saddiq Bey (38.0 percent) is the only player guaranteed to be on the roster who is a plus shooter.

Jackson took a major leap this season with increased opportunity. He hit a scorching 40.7 percent of his 3.8 attempts per game and looked increasingly comfortable with more responsibility. Like Diallo, Jackson is due for a raise. However, Jackson showcased a skill set that is far more complimentary to the core of the roster going forward.

Digging a little further, Jackson hit a staggering 72.0 percent of his right corner 3-point shots this season. He would thrive in a lineup with Cade Cunningham and should be prioritized, especially with Wayne Ellington due to become a free agent as well. The Pistons were 22nd in 3-point percentage (35.1), 21st in attempts per game (32.9) and 22nd in makes (11.6). He will not be the only shooter Detroit will pursue in free agency, but the familiarity should help them in recruiting him to come back.
