Pistons Sign Dwight Buycks To Two-Way Deal

SEPTEMBER 7: Buycks’ deal with the Pistons is now official, according to agent Chris Patrick (Twitter link).

AUGUST 29: The Pistons have agreed to sign free agent point Dwight Buycks, Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders writes. Chris Reichert of 2Ways10Days adds that Buycks’ deal is a two-way pact (Twitter link). The journeyman guard last played in China following stints with the Raptors and Lakers.

In six games with Los Angeles three years ago, Buycks averaged 8.7 points and 2.3 assists per game in just over 20 minutes of action. Now the 28-year-old will look to break camp as the third point guard behind Reggie Jackson and Ish Smith, a role that Beno Udrih held in 2016/17.

Buycks went undrafted out of Marquette in the 2011 NBA Draft but has thrived on and off in the G League and internationally over the course of the past half decade.

Earlier this summer, Buycks suited up for the Mavs’ team in the Orlando Summer League.
