I was fooled. We all were fooled.
I thought that DJ Augustin had turned a corner in his career and was going to be a good player from now on. He had some amazing performances with the Bulls after being left for dead on the Raptors. I thought the 3 million per deal that he signed was a good one, that the Pistons were getting a great backup PG for when Brandon Jennings would inevitably start to suck.
Much of his regression can be chalked up to the “Josh Smith effect”, which hurt that stats of every single person on the Detroit roster. His 3 best games have now come after the chemotherapy. Perhaps I should not be so quick to hand down judgment.
