Kalin Lucas pistons
Though he didn’t see much playing time with the Pistons, Lucas made every game count playing with the G-League affiliate team. Lucas also showed his distribution skills on the court averaging 5.5 assists per game.
The way he can create his own shot is very impressive and he makes the right move coming off screen and rolls. Lucas had an impressive two-game stretch in which he cashed in back-to-back 30 point game performances. On March 15, Lucas dropped 38 points (14-24 FG, 7-14 3PT, 3-3 FT) for the Drive against Stockton. That arguably was his best performance of the season. For those who have not seen Lucas play, you are missing out. This player brings excitement and passion to the game and he leaves it out there on the court day in and day out.
It’s all about how bad you want it and based on the performance Lucas had this season, earning G-League All D-League Third Team for the Drive, I would say he wants it. This will be a big off-season for Lucas this season if he wants to secure a roster spot for the upcoming season.
Kalin Lucas contract
The Pistons have signed Kalin Lucas to a two-way contract, waiving Zach Lofton in the process, Rod Beard of The Detroit News relays (Twitter feed). The new team has a bounty of guards after adding Isaiah Whitehead on a separate two-way deal earlier today. Behind Reggie Jackson, the team has veterans Ish Smith, Langston Galloway, and Jose Calderon on the payroll. The Pistons also have rookie Khyri Thomas, who has seen court time in each of the last three games after playing sparsely in just seven of the franchise’s previous 39 contests.
After the Lucas signing, seven of the team’s 17 players man the point guard position. It could be more lineups with two point guards or it could be a more drastic measure like shipping Jackson to a new team. Detroit entered the day 10th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 18-24, just a game-and-a-half behind the eighth-place Hornets. Adding Lucas, who has appeared in just one NBA game since leaving Michigan State, won’t likely impact the team’s win total. However, with Lucas and Whitehead in the fold, the team has great depth at the position and it can now more easily swap a floor general for some needed wing support.
