The Detroit Pistons added Caris LeVert to give them scoring punch off the bench, but they will quickly regret the signing. The departures of Malik Beasley, Dennis Schroder, and Tim Hardaway Jr. left a void. Detroit made a massive leap behind the offensive upgrade these three helped provide, but LeVert won\u2019t be such a seamless fit in the Motor City.<\/p>\n
The Pistons lost a ton of shooting<\/a>, and LeVert won\u2019t make it up. He took 4.4 3-point attempts per game last season and has never taken more than 5.5 a night over an entire season. The 6\u20196 wing is a career 34.5 percent 3-point shooter and is inconsistent. Detroit desperately needs floor spacers around Cade Cunningham, and LeVert is a question mark.<\/p>\n The Pistons should know what they are getting. The 30-year-old played under head coach JB Bickerstaff in Cleveland for two and a half seasons. LeVert credits him with improving his defense<\/a>, but history suggests this move will backfire on Detroit.<\/p>\n Pistons will quickly regret the Caris LeVert signing<\/p>\n LeVert has played for four different teams in the last five years and was traded three times. Adding a 15-point-per-game scorer capable of handling the ball and getting buckets seems exciting, but LeVert\u2019s inefficiency and defensive issues have caused him to bounce around. <\/p>\n The Pistons lost 38.1 points per game with the departures of Beasley, THJ, and Schroder. Duncan Robinson will serve as the elite shooter, and Detroit hopes Jade Ivey leaps into the All-Star conversation. The franchise needed someone to put the ball in the bucket in their second unit, and LeVert was their best available option. <\/p>\n
