I don't understand it. Very bad fit. Doesn't do anything that Brandon Knight or Will Bynum don't do better. Bad signing for Detroit. They should have gone in a different direction.
On a side note -- Knight in his rookie season played just as badly (awful) as Jonny Flynn did (awful) in his first season. Be interesting to see if he can turn it around or not.
No clear plan, so just "collecting assets" and young "talent"?
Flynn's the 15th/16th man on that roster. The signing isn't a big deal.
Pistons need to develop Drummond into a solid frontcourt mate for Monroe, and hope that Knight improves. There's little else going for them on that roster as far as talent is concerned. I like Jerebko a lot, Tayshaun is still one of my favorite players, and Stuckey shows flashes, but they all have flaws/limitations that prevent them from being considered cornerstones.
I think it's going to be a long rebuild for Detroit. Didn't they trade away next year's 1st rounder to move Ben Gordon?
