Detroit Pistons: 2017-18 player grades for Reggie Bullock

Highlights

Reggie Bullock was rarely the team’s primary man due to the other big names around him. However, he and the whole team went crazy against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was one of four players with 20+ points, finishing with 22 on 9-of-15 shooting, including 4-of-6 from 3-point range.

In a game the Pistons lost by two in overtime to the eventual Eastern Conference 1-seed, the Toronto Raptors, Bullock was the only player outside of Griffin to keep them in it. The Raptors had DeMar DeRozan score 42 points, along with three players with 14 or more points.

Bullock finished with 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting including 3-of-6 from 3-point land. He also finished with four assists in the game.

In a low-scoring matchup with the Chicago Bulls, Bullock was extremely efficient. He showed a quick trigger from distance, to go with timely cuts. This was the type of offensive performance he can put up every night. He ultimately finished with 21 points on 9-of-12 shooting and another 3-for-6 night on 3-pointers.

With players such as Jackson, Griffin and Drummond around him, Bullock will never be the team’s primary threat. However, it was performances like these that show the importance of getting him hot early. He’s a knockdown shooter when he gets the ball on the perimeter. He can put together even more games like this next season, with more time for the team to come together.
