There have been limited minutes available so far this season for young Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya. Via the Detroit News:
In the early part of the season, much of the attention has been focused on the Pistons’ three first-round picks and their development.
What might be getting lost in the shuffle is how their other two young players are doing. Sekou Doumbouya is one of the biggest question marks, playing 13 minutes in the opener and less than 10 minutes in the next three games.
On one hand, Doumbouya’s versatility is a benefit, in that he can play either of the forward positions — and in a pinch, can slide over to center.
The Pistons are deepest at forward, which makes it hard to find minutes for Doumbouya. It’s also where two of their best players, Blake Griffin and Jerami Grant, occupy the starting spots.
The three leading scorers on the Pistons through four games are forwards: Grant at 22.8 points per game, Josh Jackson at 17.3 PPG, and Griffini at 16.3 PPG.
