Zaza Pachulia won’t be a sexy player for Detroit, but he will help them in the win column

The Pistons signed 15-year NBA veteran big man Zaza Pachulia recently and DBB had a lot to say about it.

Many of you reacted in a pretty measured and logical way, realizing that Zaza is indeed a limited, plodding center who, also, happens to injure star players occasionally (although I contend that the Kawhi incident was not purposeful). A good question to then ask to the heavens is why on earth would a team sign Zaza at this point in his career?

About the only conceivable answer is that the 15-year veteran center can mentor young big men on the roster — Andre and Henry, that means you.
