Low: Bench Production

The Pistons bench has been a league-worst in efficiency (25.8), points per game (15.4) and field goal percentage (37.8 percent) this season, according to Hoopsstats.com. Collectively, they have been good enough on the defensive end, but their offensive struggles are what cost the Pistons.

Rookie Stanley Johnson has had his struggles this season, but he has been the best offensive option off the bench. He accounts for 53.2 percent of the team’s scoring off the bench. With the return of Brandon Jennings, the bench should improve offensively and defensively.
