Lingering Jaden Ivey problem could derail his new role for Pistons

Jaden Ivey has lacked his trademark burst this season as he tries to come back from a serious leg injury and is evolving into a catch-and-shoot 3-point specialist, which isn’t the worst thing in the world. But if he’s not going to create, he can’t keep turning over the ball.

I wrote recently that the Pistons would be best served turning Ivey into more of a 3-point shooter, as he’s not getting downhill, but has been knocking down catch-and-shoot 3-point shots at a high rate, hitting over 40 percent of that type of shot on the season.
