After an encouraging rookie season, Ivey was unable to make any significant steps forward during his sophomore campaign. While his production was comparable to his first season, his efficiency remains an issue, as does his lack of defensive contributions. He finished outside the top 250 in nine-category leagues, averaging 15.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 42.9 percent shooting from the field and 74.9 percent from the line. With Cade Cunningham locked in as the starting point guard, Ivey's inability to consistently score from the perimeter raises a few questions regarding his role moving forward. In an attempt to address those concerns, Detroit added Tim Hardaway and Malik Beasley, both players noted for their shooting acumen. Tobias Harris also signed a multi-year deal to return to Detroit, while Ron Holland was taken with the fifth pick in the 2024 Draft. The Pistons are now in a position where they can chop and change the guard rotation, meaning Ivey's playing time could fluctuate. However, his age should work in his favor, at least down the stretch. If and when the Pistons are eliminated from playoff contention, they may lean into their youth a bit more. Ivey is worth considering as a pick in the final rounds of drafts, albeit one who may have to be dropped if his offensive struggles continue.
