While they made necessary changes, it was clear that the Pistons didn’t land all of their top targets. Austin Reaves was rumored to be at the top of Detroit’s list, but he was a long shot. After missing out on Reaves, NBA analyst Sam Vecenie has another player in mind who could end up being a Reaves-type player: Ryan Rollins. After runs with the Warriors and the Washington Wizards, Rollins landed on the Bucks amid the 2023-2024 NBA season. During the 2025-2026 NBA season, Rollins started a career-high 67 games in his 74-game stretch.
