You’d think that the team that has amassed more than $40 million in cap space, nearly double any other team, might control free agency once moves are possible starting at 6 p.m. Thursday.

The Detroit Pistons added plenty of athleticism in the NBA Draft in Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren. The one thing they didn’t add is shooting, and it’s a definite need of the Detroit Pistons after finishing last season 29th in 3-point percentage. Malik Monk, 3-point specialist most recently of the Los Angeles Lakers, could be
