Pistons waive Deron Washington
By Dan Feldman
From a team release:
"AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Detroit Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars announced today that the club has requested waivers on guard/forward Deron Washington. He averaged 3.3 points, 0.6 rebounds and 6.4 minutes in seven preseason games.Washington was drafted by Detroit with the 59th overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. He played on the Pistons’ summer league teams each of the last two years and averaged 14.8 points and 7.0 rebounds in 27 games for Hapoel Holon of the Greek League in 2008-09."
Bit of a shocker. I think it was assumed Washington would make the team.
I guess this means Chucky Atkins will make the roster – unless the Pistons are going the cheap route with just 13 players.
