5 Detroit Pistons that might help you win your fantasy basketball league
4. Derrick Rose
Rose’s resurgence in Minnesota was one of the most compelling storylines of the 2018-19 season. He was well on his way to being a finalist for Sixth Man of the Year before being shutdown for the remainder of the season.
He was impressive enough to land a two-year deal with the Pistons where he’ll lead the second unit, giving him an opportunity to thrive with the ball in his hands.

Rose’s 55.7 true shooting percentage is the best of his career, which is directly correlated with a career high with a 37 percent 3-point percentage. His 19.5 Player Efficiency Rating was the best since his last All-Star season (23) in 2011-12.
In ESPN’s draft portal, he’s ranked 182 out of all players. With that being lower than Kennard’s rating, it’s important to note that Rose scored 825 fantasy points, nearly 250 more than Kennard.
As long as he stays healthy, his scoring ability and passing is going to outweigh the scoring of Kennard.
If the Pistons are going to accomplish their goals of improving on last season, they’re going to need Rose to perform as he did last season.
