Detroit Pistons acquire Isaiah Joe for improved three-point shooting

Summary

The Detroit Pistons have traded for Isaiah Joe from the Oklahoma City Thunder, aiming to enhance their three-point shooting ability after a disappointing postseason. Last season, the Pistons ranked 17th in the NBA for three-point percentage. Joe, who has consistently shot over 40% from beyond the arc in the last four years, joins Duncan Robinson in bolstering the team’s perimeter options. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff may utilize both players simultaneously to improve floor spacing. Speculation surrounds Robinson's standing with the team, though it is believed the Pistons may retain both shooting threats in the upcoming season.
