Pistons Add Deron Washington; Roster Set at 14 Before Camp

by Packey on Aug 10, 2009 5:17 PM EDT in Detroit Pistons News

The move that many Pistons fans expected to happen after the summer league was to officially give Deron Washington a roster spot. That is exactly what the Pistons have done as their latest move.

Via MLIVE:

Washington, drafted by Detroit in the second round of the 2008 NBA draft, will have a two-year deal similar to the one signed by Will Bynum last summer.

The first year is partially guaranteed, although the Pistons anticipate he'll be with the club long enough to where it becomes fully guaranteed. The second year is a team option.

The Pistons do not expect to add another guard nor do they plan on filling the NBA-maximum 15th roster spot before camp in the fall.

If you're curious as to what Deron Washington can bring to the Pistons, look no further than this dunk mix tape -- he's a pretty entertaining player that will surely be a crowd favorite whenever he sees minutes:

Might be ok...

If Big Ben still has some ups left we may be ok. I still think another big man is needed to be a real contender though.

I think another pg is needed into the mix…I just dont think Stuckey/Bynum, n BG if they use him there will be able to get the job done 4 a full season….

Ok, I don’t follow college basketball too often. But after watching this mix tape I have one question. Were this dunks all from the same game!? I seen “huskies” on each end of the court in almost every play…I dont know, just wondering. Looks like Washington could have the potential to be a great player!!!
