Detroit fan said this about the signing of Bullock.
"He was Detroit's best perimeter defender when he was here, and he shot 40%+ from 3. He does not need the ball on his hands to impact the game and is really good running around screens to get open. I love his game.
He is a competent defender, not a lockdown defender, but he is 6'7 and has a great BBIQ. I was furious when we traded him for Svi and a bad 2nd. People still make fun of me for being mad, because he didn't do that great and at one point Svi was looking great for us, but I always insisted that it was dumb to let him go. The guy is good.
His main problem is, after we traded him and later he signed with the Knicks, he had some injuries, and before we give him his first contract (after his rookie deal), his main issue was staying healthy.
That's why he only got paid 7.5 mil for 3 years at that time, he was always injured. But once he got his extension he was healthy and quickly became a starter for us.
His skillset is worth more than 10 mil per year imo (high BBIQ, one of the best 3 point shooters in the league, big and long for a SG/can guard SFs, plus defender), but his injury issues and the fact that his game is not flashy probably make people value him lower than he deserves."
