Support The Starters

The Detroit Pistons‘ starting five is the second highest scoring unit among starting units in the NBA, scoring 77.5 points per game. They also have the seventh highest point differential in the league (+3.3) among starting units.

So why hasn’t Detroit been able to turn the page just yet? To tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, the bench is a worthless steaming pile of cow dung (figuratively speaking).

Despite their successful starting unit, Detroit’s bench ranks dead last in scoring (23.4 points per game) and 27th in point differential (-2.5). Brandon Jennings‘ return should help in this regard, but the Pistons could really use some cover fire when it’s time for the starters to reload.
