It looks like the 18-game audition last season for the Detroit Pistons paid off in a big way for Marvin Bagley III. The former No. 2 overall pick was mostly glued to the bench and worn out his welcome in Sacramento, but he found new life, and playing time, in Detroit.
Bagley averaged 14.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in his short stint with the Pistons and provided a much-needed vertical lob threat for young guards Cade Cunningham and Killian Hayes.
The terms of the deal are reportedly three years and $37 million, which, honestly, took my breath away considering the seeming lack of suitors outside of the Pistons.
