The Grand Rapids Drive’s 2019–20 season featured a roster loaded with young talent and future NBA contributors, making it one of the more intriguing campaigns in franchise history. Rookie guard Jordan Bone took on a leading role after being selected by the Detroit Pistons, while fellow first-year pro Louis King emerged as a major scoring threat and one of the G League’s breakout performers. The Drive also received assignment appearances from Detroit prospects as the organization continued to use Grand Rapids as an important development platform. Although the season was ultimately cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic before the playoffs could take place, the year stood out for the growth of several young players who would go on to earn NBA opportunities, as well as the team’s ability to remain competitive amid significant roster movement.

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
Jordan Bone Primary Pick-and-Roll Creator (1.1) 31.8 High (1.2) 17.5 3.3 7.1 0.9 76.03 As Grand Rapids’ lead ball-handler, Bone controlled the offense with a downhill style and enough shooting range to keep defenses honest. Detroit repeatedly moved him between the Pistons and Drive, and his G League workload was clearly development-oriented; he was running the team rather than simply filling minutes. CBS Sports NBA G League Showcase Second Team (2020)
Donta Hall Rim-Protecting Centerpiece (1.1) 28.6 Medium (1.1) 15.3 10.4 1.0 2.3 70.18 Hall gave the Drive a vertical interior presence, combining rim protection with relentless work on the offensive glass. His physical style translated into a midseason All-G League selection and eventually earned him a chance with Detroit, where his G League development was viewed as preparation for an NBA role. MLive Midseason All-NBA G League Eastern Conference Team (2020); All-NBA G League Second Team (2020); NBA G League All-Defensive Team (2020); NBA G League All-Rookie Team (2020)
Sekou Doumbouya Offensive Focal Point (1.1) 27.0 High (1.2) 17.4 5.5 1.5 1.2 67.58 Doumbouya was used as a high-upside scoring forward rather than a passive developmental piece, attacking mismatches with his length, face-up game and improving perimeter shot. His stint was deliberately split between Detroit and Grand Rapids, and he produced one of his clearest confidence-building moments with a 30-point game-winner against Maine late in the season. L’Équipe
Louis King Primary Wing Creator (1.1) 28.5 High (1.2) 15.0 5.4 3.0 1.6 66.00 King operated as a sizeable scoring wing who could create some offense off the bounce while also spacing the floor. His two-way assignment with Detroit gave Grand Rapids a young perimeter creator, and he was regularly grouped with Bone, Hall and Doumbouya as one of the Drive’s principal offensive pieces. PistonPowered
Khyri Thomas Lead Shot Creator (1.05) 22.0 High (1.2) 17.0 4.0 1.5 1.5 60.48 Thomas’ sample is only two games, so the evaluation has to stay narrow, but those appearances show a perimeter scorer willing to take difficult shots and generate offense without needing much setup. His established G League reputation also included a willingness to attack from three, a trait that surfaced again during Detroit’s 2019 summer run. NBA.com
Tra-Deon Hollins Defensive Floor General (1.05) 24.2 High (1.2) 6.9 3.6 8.4 2.9 54.94 Hollins functioned as Grand Rapids’ defensive-minded organizer, pressuring the ball while also carrying a major share of the playmaking burden. The unusual combination of low scoring, elite assist production and disruptive defense made him valuable in a different way from the Drive’s scoring guards, and his season ultimately earned All-Defensive recognition. SB Nation NBA G League All-Defensive First Team (2020)
Adam Woodbury Starting Interior Presence (1.05) 20.4 Medium (1.1) 10.0 8.0 0.8 0.8 45.28 Woodbury supplied the Drive with a traditional interior option, using his size to establish position, rebound and finish around the basket. His role grew particularly useful later in the season, when he was producing near double-double levels over an extended stretch and became a dependable source of frontcourt production. HartSports Management
Todd Withers Stretch Forward (1.05) 25.1 Medium (1.1) 10.8 5.0 1.2 1.8 43.43 Withers gave Grand Rapids a modern forward profile: capable of spacing the floor while defending multiple positions and contributing on the glass. His previous G League season had already established him as a useful two-way role player, and that versatility was enough to earn an NBA contract with Detroit during the summer. Queens University of Charlotte
Craig Sword Defensive Utility Guard (1.05) 23.6 Medium (1.0) 9.3 3.6 2.4 2.4 37.17 Sword’s value came from pressure defense and activity more than pure scoring. He routinely created possessions with his hands, while his ability to handle the ball and attack selectively made him a useful two-way guard in a rotation that needed defensive edge. Hoops Rumors
Dakarai Allen Defensive Wing Stopper (1.05) 23.9 Medium (1.0) 7.9 3.2 2.6 1.6 32.13 Allen settled into a complementary wing role built around defense, straight-line drives and secondary playmaking rather than high-volume scoring. His earlier G League reputation centered on perimeter defense and activity, and Grand Rapids continued to use him as a stabilizing two-way piece. OurSports Central
Tre’Shawn Thurman Stretch Forward Reserve (1.0) 16.0 Low (1.0) 7.7 3.5 1.1 1.1 26.80 Thurman worked as a compact reserve forward who could space the floor, attack closeouts and compete physically without demanding possessions. His 36.8% three-point shooting gave Grand Rapids some useful frontcourt spacing, while his limited minutes kept his offensive responsibilities relatively contained.
Khalil Iverson Energy Forward (1.0) 17.1 Low (1.0) 6.2 3.8 1.4 1.5 25.80 Iverson’s role was built around activity: cutting, attacking the rim, rebounding from the wing and defending with physicality. He could swing a game through effort plays without needing designed offense, and he was one of the Drive’s useful contributors during the G League Winter Showcase. PistonPowered
Pe’Shon Howard Backup Point Guard (1.0) 11.5 Low (1.0) 5.4 1.6 1.7 0.2 17.80 Howard operated as a reserve ball-handler, providing spot minutes and secondary creation behind Grand Rapids’ higher-usage guards. The small role limited his offensive influence, but his experience as a G League point guard made him a practical depth option when the rotation shifted.
Devon Baulkman Spot-Up Wing Reserve (1.0) 13.6 Low (1.0) 5.5 1.5 0.8 0.6 16.80 Baulkman’s job was largely complementary, with his best avenue to impact coming from perimeter shooting and opportunistic offense rather than sustained creation. The 2019-20 season was a limited rotation assignment, making his small sample more representative of a specialist role than a larger offensive responsibility. Tennessee Athletics
