Stealing how the Rockets use Clint Capela could benefit Pistons

Clint Capela, the 6-foot-10 rim-rummer from Houston via Switzerland, took a large step forward in his fourth year and helped to push the eventual champion Golden State Warriors to seven games in the Western Conference Finals. Capela, with a limited (but improving) offensive game, scored a shade under 14 points per game on nearly 65-percent shooting during the 2017-18 season.

It’s the 65-percent part that Pistons’ fans should take note of since Andre Drummond only shot 53-percent from a nearly identical shot chart. Drummond made 26 more field goal attempts than Capela but needed an extra 205 shots to do so.
