Detroit Pistons: Killian Hayes hoping to break the #7 curse
Detroit Pistons: Unlucky 7 No. 2
Brandon Jennings
The Detroit Pistons had back-to-back unlucky #7’s when they traded Brandon Knight and Khris Middleton for Brandon Jennings.
Jennings ranks among the most overrated Pistons of all time, as fans tend to only remember his flashy passing and big scoring games and not that his career with the Pistons was a disaster.

Jennings did have some big games for the Pistons, but he was also wildly inconsistent and inefficient, scoring 30 one game and then going 1-for-12 in the next.
Ultimately his career was a big “what if” for the Pistons, as he was derailed by injury and never came back the same guy. It’s too bad, as Jennings was fun to watch and was part of that magical win streak that came just after the Pistons traded Josh Smith.
You have to wonder what might have happened if Jennings had not injured his Achilles. He claims he would have been an All-Star and who knows, he might be right.
But we will never know, as his career was doubly cursed, as he not only got injured but the guys the Pistons traded for him flourished.
