Pistons Simone Fontecchio named among league's most intriguing free agents.
Among the moves that flew under the radar around the NBA trade deadline this season was the Detroit Pistons trading for Simone Fontecchio. It didn't seem like much in the moment, but the young forward quickly tunred heads with an extended opportunity.
In the 16 games he played for the Pistons this season, Fontecchio averaged 15.4 PPG and 4.4 RPG while shooting a stellar 42.6% from beyond the arc. Sadly, his hot streak was met with an early end due to a toe injury. After 50 efficient games with the Jazz, he got a chance to add volume down the stretch with Detroit. Averages of 15.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists don't leap off the page. But a 42.6 percent hit rate from deep with the Pistons, combined with eye-opening defensive skills, suggests the Italian could slot into a major role on a good team.
