A year after becoming a second-round pick in the 2019 NBA draft, Deividas Sirvydis is officially coming to Detroit. 

Sirvydis, the 37th pick of last year’s draft, has agreed to a three-year contract with the Detroit Pistons, a league source confirmed to the Free Press. The Pistons traded for the 6-foot-8 Lithuanian wing on the night of the draft, sending three second-round picks to the Dallas Mavericks to acquire him. 

DEPTH CHART: How much will Blake Griffin, Killian Hayes play?

A draft-and-stash pick, Sirvydis played professionally in Lithuania last season and averaged 6.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 15.5 minutes per game. He hit 38.2% of his 3-pointers. 

The expectation for Sirvydis this season, per a source, is for him to spend significant time in the G League after competing in training camp, which begins Tuesday

Sirvydis is represented by agent Michael Tellem, who is Pistons vice chairman Arn Tellem’s son. 

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski initially reported the signing.
