With training camp quickly approaching, the Detroit Pistons continue to make progress as the season approaches.
The Pistons have been looking to get back to winning ways for several seasons now. To do so, the team has made several moves, including a new general manager and several new players.
“The Pistons and Dereon Seabron have agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal,” HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reported Wednesday. “Seabron has been a two-way player for the New Orleans Pelicans the past two seasons.”
Seabron spent two seasons at NC State, where he averaged 17.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists as a sophomore. The point guard went undrafted in 2022 before signing with the Pelicans.
The former Wolfpack player has played in the G-League for the past two years. In five games with the Birmingham Squadron last season, Seabron averaged 23 points, 7.4 assists and 6.6 rebounds while shooting 55.7 percent from the field and 53.3 percent from three-point range.
Detroit took a gamble on this talented player to develop him in a team that can devote playing time to young players. Thanks to his efficiency in attack in the G-League, he has shown that he has the qualities to become an NBA player. Now he will have the opportunity to demonstrate it.
The 24-year-old now joins the Pistons on a deal that will allow him to compete for a roster spot throughout training camp.
