Wayne Ellington – Detroit Pistons

Three-point shooting is at the forefront of what the Jazz do best on offensive, which is why Wayne Ellington would be a great trade target for them. The veteran wing is on a minimum deal with the Pistons this year and recent trade rumors say the Pistons have looked into potentially moving him. 

Wayne Ellington has been a really solid role player for the Detroit Pistons this season and is currently averaging 10.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and shooting 42.2% from three-point range. The Jazz currently rank 3rd in the league in three-point shooting and adding the 12-year veteran would be yet another upgrade for their offense. 

This season, the Utah Jazz have been a really successful team because they have so much depth on their roster. They play as many as 9 guys deep every game and sometimes play 10-11 guys deep in their rotation. Adding Ellington not only gives them another reliable bench option, but somebody who can pull his weight on a championship caliber team.

He is very affordable and he is a veteran player who wants to win games, which is exactly why Utah is a great fit for him. Three-point shooting is a large part of what the Jazz do and with Wayne Ellington, this team could become an even better perimeter-oriented team.

With them chasing a championship this year, it makes complete sense for the Jazz to look to add Wayne Ellington at the expense of one or two second-round picks and maybe a player like Miye Oni or Juwan Morgan.
