Gradey Dick logged 31 minutes in Wednesday’s 94-90 loss to the Pistons, tallying 22 points (8-of-19 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers.
While Dick shot 6-of-9 from inside the arc, the first-round pick out of Kansas was just 2-of-10 on 3-pointers. There shouldn’t be too much concern, however, as he was a 40% shooter from three in his lone season at Kansas. And playing alongside more proven playmakers once the regular season begins should result in improved shot quality. Fellow rookie Markquis Nowell struggled with his shot as well, going 2-of-13 from the field and finishing with nine points, two rebounds, six assists, one steal, and four turnovers in 30 minutes.
