Pistons banking on Isaiah Livers, a 24-year-old with upside: ‘He’s a big part of our future’
New York TimesTo truly understand the belief that the Detroit Pistons organization has in Isaiah Livers look no further than Aug. 6, 2021. That’s why the Michigan native scoffs at the narrative that an “old man” like him, or any other senior college player who followed a similar path, can’t go to another level. “To be honest with you, I think it’s bulls—,” Livers said when asked about the thought that four-year college players don’t necessarily carry the upside of one-and-done blue-chippers. If teams aren’t going to take that chance, that’s fine.” Anyone who has watched Livers from high school to now shouldn’t be surprised by what he’s provided for the Pistons defensively. These aren’t things that he showed with great regularity in college, and is one big example of how, at 24, Livers is tapping into untouched potential.
