Datome has decided to play for the Pistons during the 2014-15 season after being pursued by FC Barcelona, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

Analysis:

Datome couldn't crack the Pistons' rotation in his debut season, appearing in just 34 contests while averaging 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in under seven minutes per game. Instead of heading back overseas, Datome will stay with the Pistons and try to see if he has better luck earning playing time under new head coach Stan Van Gundy.
