Pistons sign PG Ryan Boatright, who'll go to Grand Rapids

The Detroit Pistons announced the signing of guard Ryan Boatright on Friday night. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The team intends to waive Boatright and then assign him to the Grand Rapids Drive of the NBA Development League.

He tallied a team-high 17.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.4 turnovers on 41.1% shooting from three-point range as a senior.
