The Detroit Pistons took a risk when they signed free-agent Jerami Grant to a 3 year/$60 million deal last offseason.
The risk paid off, as Grant blew up in an expanded role and nearly won the Most Improved Player award while showing that he is far more than just a role player.
This led to an invite to Team USA and a gold medal for Grant, who now looks like one of the cornerstones of the Pistons’ restoration.
