Simone Fontecchio was the darling of the Detroit Pistons’ many moves at the trade deadline last season. He brought much-needed shooting, which shined in his 16 games with Detroit before he was lost to injury.
Fontecchio isn’t just a shooter, though. Although he’s entering just his third NBA season, he serves more as a veteran due to his experience playing internationally before he joined the Utah Jazz in the 2022-23 season.
The Pistons added more shooting this offseason, but that doesn’t push Fontecchio to the side. In fact, he’s a critical piece on the Pistons’ roster.
