To keep Daniss Jenkins, the Pistons are falling short
Undrafted after leaving St. John’s in 2024. Daniss Jenkins is one of the big revelations of the year, and the Pistons decided to reward him with a two-year contract. We know it is the players’ camp was not very hot for a simple transformation “two-way contract” into a classic 1+1 type contract with minimum earnings.
According to ESPNThe Pistons reduced their “two-year exception” to offer him more than the minimum salary, but the franchise still has the option to part ways with him at the end of the season. But that would be risky because Jenkins shouldn’t be short of an offer next July.
As Cade Cunningham’s replacement, Jenkins averaged about 8 points and 3 assists. A good defender, he absolutely pushed Jaden Ivey towards the exit, and when Cunningham got injured, JB Bickerstaff didn’t hesitate to start him.
To make room for him, the leaders decided to part with Dario Sarić, who had just arrived. The future of Croatia is undoubtedly in Europe.
Two-way contract : Designed to create a new bridge between the NBA and the G-League, this type of contract allows each team to secure the services of two or three additional players, to play with them mainly in their affiliate development league franchise, but also for up to 50 games in the NBA.
