Isaiah Joe

Isaiah Joe and Kevin Huerter are a bench pairing J.B. Bickerstaff likes for Detroit: "I think they work well together. High IQ guys that can help that second unit." Both move off the ball and make plays, fitting his push for quicker decisions and a less stagnant offense.

Bickerstaff on Isaiah Joe: he has freedom to expand beyond the role he had on previous teams. "We don't put anybody in a box." On Kevin Huerter, no rebuild of his shot: "you don't have to overhaul what he's doing." He also called Huerter a playmaker, not just a shooter.
