Pistons Bench Crisis After LeVert Trade | Detroit Pistons News

The Pistons’ trade of Caris LeVert may sound like a win for the future, but it’s a serious blow to their offense—especially with no clear replacement to create shots when Cade Cunningham is off the court. LeVert’s ability to generate offense is now missing, and the bench lacks a reliable scorer or playmaker. Young stars like Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson are expected to step up, but they struggled in the playoffs. Veteran Tobias Harris’ departure further deepens the hole, as his replacement, John Collins, can’t create his own shot. The team hasn’t added any offensive firepower, leaving the bench to rely on unproven players like Daniss Jenkins and rookie Ebuka Okorie. Even Isaiah Stewart, who helped create transition offense, is gone. Without LeVert’s spark, Detroit’s offense could be in serious trouble next season.
