Contract Value Index (CVI)
Kevin Huerter's one-year, $18M deal with the Detroit Pistons earns a C- CVI, reflecting a contract that's functional but hardly inspiring for either side. At $18M annually, Huerter is being compensated like a high-end role player despite being more of a solid starter who can space the floor and handle secondary playmaking duties. For Detroit, this represents smart short-term roster building — they get a veteran presence who won't block their young core's development while maintaining financial flexibility for 2025 free agency. The one-year structure works in the Pistons' favor, allowing them to either flip Huerter as an expiring contract at the trade deadline or let him walk without long-term commitment. However, from a pure value standpoint, $18M feels like a slight overpay for a player who projects as a quality sixth man or fourth starter on a contending team. This deal screams "placeholder contract" — serviceable for Detroit's rebuilding timeline but unlikely to move the needle significantly in either direction.
Performance Analysis
Kevin Huerter earns a B- Performance grade this season — a quality starter-level shooting guard putting up solid numbers for the Detroit Pistons. Through 540 games, Kevin is contributing 9.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game in his role. Kevin's strongest area is FG% at 44.8, which compares favorably to the shooting guard median of 46.0. The biggest area for growth is APG at 2.5 (shooting guard median: 4.0). Among 147 NBA shooting guards graded this season, Kevin ranks 30th. Kevin is a reliable contributor who the Detroit Pistons can count on game to game.
