Why The Detroit Pistons Do The Deal
We know what Pistons fans are thinking. Really? Another guard?
For what it’s worth, the Pistons have plenty of backcourt talent. Their starting backcourt of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey ought to define Pistons basketball for a long time.
Add in Killian Hayes, and it’s fair to question this decision.
With that said, Mitchell has been a more productive player than Hayes. He’s a better shooter, and a better defender. Those qualities make him a more suitable backup point guard.
