Both Detroit Pistons and Shake Milton want this season to be over soon
Neither Milton nor the Detroit Pistons are having a good season. To be frank the Pistons are having a nightmare season and to add to that misery they have recently suffered a 100-110 defeat at the hands of the Cleaveland Cavaliers. Pistons are currently seated at 14th position in the Eastern Conference. They have won just 9 out of the 59 games they have played this season in the NBA.
Detroit Pistons will be looking for some change in personnel, they need to bring in more vigor and aggression to their game if they want to perform better next season. The Detroit Pistons are set to take on the Orlando Magic next on 4th March, they will be looking to go all out against them and squeeze a better result out of the game.
What’s next for Shake Milton?
At the 2018 NBA draft Shake Milton was the 54th pick. Milton first went on to play for the 76ers where he spent five years of his career. Many Philadelphia 76ers fans consider him a franchise legend. Shake Milton averages His career 8.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in his entire career while shooting 45.1% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range in 296 regular season games.
Signing Shake Milton will be a perfect opportunity for any playoff contender to sign him for the rest of the season.
