#DETROIT PISTONS SUMMER LEAGUE ROSTER FREE#
Getting into the paint is one thing, but it's finishing and converting on free shots that will determine Drummond's success level. For how big and physical Drummond is, he will certainly see a lot of time at the free-throw line. Shooting 29 percent from the charity stripe is not only low, it's astronomically low and needs to be improved upon. In order to do this, he will need to become a force in the paint, bang bodies and assert himself against equally big opponents.Īlso, Drummond's free-throw percentage is scary low. Throughout the summer, Drummond will have to make it known that he is not all hype. His body frame and intangibles can carry him a long way throughout his career, but it's the unknown about Drummond that scares so many people. Summer Outlook: After Detroit drafted Drummond, there remains a lot of question marks surrounding what they are going to get out of him.ĭrummond's undoubtedly gifted physically. Prediction: Daye will find his shooting stroke and return to being a productive player for Detroit, essentially making Prince an inevitable trading chip for the Pistons.Ģ011-2012 Stats (at UCONN): 28.4 minutes, 10.0 points, 53% field goals, 7.6 rebounds, 29% free throws He needs to go out and show that 2012 was nothing but a fluke, proving he has what it takes to assume the role Prince currently holds. Prince has been one of the most consistent players for the Pistons during his time in Detroit, but doesn't fit into the youth movement going on in Motown right now.ĭaye's ability to utilize his length, as well as his shooting ability, will make or break him this summer. One of the biggest keys for Daye will be to prove he is ready to take over for Tayshaun Prince. Nothing seemed to click for the lengthy swing-forward last season and, hopefully, he will get back to his normal self. Shooting has always been one of his strong suits since his days at Gonzaga. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly went wrong for Daye last season. Shooting a career-low 32 percent on field goals, including an abysmal 21 percent from three-point range (after shooting over 40 percent in 2010-2011), Daye will be looking to regain his shooting stroke during his time in Orlando. Summer Outlook: Last season was a horrific one for the talented Daye. We will also look at what the team, as a whole, has to look forward to.Ģ011-2012 Stats: 14.7 mins, 4.7 points, 32% field goals, 2.2 rebounds Only Austin Daye, Vernon Macklin and Brandon Knight have NBA experience for the team, making it a rather important summer for a number of young players.Īs we go forward, we will look at each man on the roster as well as the biggest selling points for each player. Something particularly interesting about the Pistons' summer roster: it is made up of mostly rookies. While the NBA's best will be playing together in the London Olympics, those looking to make it into the league will be trying to make a statement as well. Looking at the Summer League, this is where most of the unproven players for the Pistons have an opportunity to shine. With this pick, along with the other talent they have assembled in recent years, Detroit has a promising nucleus to help climb their way out of the NBA's basement. Entering Summer League play, the Detroit Pistons have begun their rebuilding process, headlined by drafting UCONN center Andre Drummond.
