Caris LeVert has had the worst season of his career this year for the Detroit Pistons, partly because he’s been on and off the injury list and can’t get into a rhythm.
LeVert has been the favorite scapegoat of Pistons fans this year, and though I generally try not to pile on in these situations, it’s well deserved, as he is averaging just seven points per game in 20 minutes off the bench, the lowest of his career.
The Pistons bypassed re-signing Tim Hardaway Jr., who ended up on a minimum deal with the Nuggets, in order to bring in LeVert, who was supposed to be a better defender and more versatile offensive player.
