LeVert was the 20th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

He has also spent time with the Brooklyn Nets and Indiana Pacers over nine total seasons.

His career averages are 13.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per contest while shooting 43.7% from the field and 34.5% from the three-point range in 524 games.

Via Keith Smith of Spotrac: "Pistons could still go under the cap and sign Caris LeVert. Or that signing could come out of the NTMLE. Detroit has flexibility to make their moves."
