Season Averages: 8.7 PPG, 1.8 RPG, 3.9 APG, 0.7 SPG, 0.1 BPG, FG% 42.8, 3PT% 32.3, FT% 80.2

In his sixth year in Detroit, Will Bynum was as reliable as ever for the Pistons. Although there’s nothing groundbreaking about Bynum’s numbers, he is vital for a Pistons group that can lack scoring off the bench. Bynum provides his team with exactly that, as well as the ability to find his teammates for easy baskets too. Aside from his basketball skills, Bynum is a leader, and when he fell out with Maurice Cheeks, it seems the ownership was quick to act.

In need of improving: Steals. For a guy of his size and basketball IQ, it’s surprising that Bynum’s steal numbers are as low as they are. Over the summer, Bynum should work on his ability to pick the pocket.

Grade: B-
