Isaiah Livers is making an impact for the Detroit Pistons

Isaiah Livers has only played 10 games for the Detroit Pistons but is already making an impact with his shooting and passing.

He had his best game of the season last night, scoring 16 points with six rebounds, two assists and a steal.

He was a crucial part of the 19-0 run, knocking down 3-point shots and acting as a connector on offense with his passing.

Livers is one of those guys who always seems to make the right play, and he might already be the Pistons’ most important bench player moving forward, as they have lacked shooting all season and he can provide it.

He knocked down 4-of-5 from long range last night and is shooting 44 percent on the season in a small sample size.

Livers has missed most of the season with an injury but it appears that Troy Weaver may have found another gem in the draft, as he has the shooting and basketball IQ to be the Pistons’ glue guy off the bench.
