Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: KCP continued to be a key part of the Pistons starting lineup this week. Coach Maurice Cheeks continues to keep his minutes low to avoid burnout, but the rookie provides a strong defensive presence making him a key figure already. For the week he averaged eight points a night, but he shot the ball poorly at 37.5 percent.

Luigi Datome: “Gigi” struggled with his shot in the past couple of games. In 12 minutes this week, Datome only managed to make a single field goal out of six attempts.

Tony Mitchell: Mitchell had four points from the free throw line in five minutes against the Magic, as well as grabbing a couple of rebounds.
