The Detroit Pistons recently signed former MVP Derrick Rose to assume the backup point guard duties. What are the pros and cons of bringing D-Rose on board?
Entering the 2019 off-season, one of the Detroit Pistons’ main priorities was addressing the team’s lack of point guard depth. Injuries to Reggie Jackson exposed a massive hole in Detroit’s roster, as former Pistons Ish Smith and Jose Calderon failed to adequately fill the role in his absence.
