3 reasons the Jerami Grant trade may be inevitable

The Detroit Pistons’ offense flows better without Jerami Grant

I don’t think the Pistons are a better team without Grant, and it’s not like they’ve exploded offensively as a team without him, but if you’ve been watching the games, the offense just seems different in his absence.

The Pistons are scoring more overall, bumping up nearly five points per game as a team without Grant.

Not only that, but the ball movement and overall flow of the offense has been a lot better, as Grant can be a ball stopper and the Detroit Pistons were often relying on him to get points in isolation when the offense stalled.

The Bucks could hardly keep up with the young Pistons last night and you never really knew who was going to get the shot, as no one was holding the ball and everyone was getting involved.

This is not only WAY more fun to watch, but you don’t have players running around wondering when or if they are going to touch the ball again.

Detroit is playing with better pace, getting more fast break points and are have had a more balanced attack overall even though they are still struggling to consistently hit shots.

As a fan, this is the kind of basketball I like to watch.

I am not saying Jerami Grant can’t be a part of such an offense, but it’s easy for the Pistons to revert to iso-ball when he is out there, which doesn’t take advantage of one of the things they do well, which is pass the ball.
