Bagley recorded 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 FT) and one rebound across 23 minutes during Monday's 130-124 loss to the Hawks.
The Pistons competed hard before ultimately suffering their 24th straight loss, and Bagley, who recently missed three straight games due to a back injury, struggled to leave his mark as a two-way presence. However, he posted solid scoring figures while replacing Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) in the starting lineup. Bagley scored in double digits for the first time since Nov. 20, and while he can contribute as a scoring weapon when given enough time, his lack of an established role and his inconsistency limits his upside considerably. The fact that he's playing on one of the worst teams in the league in recent years doesn't help his case, either.
