There has been endless talk about the Detroit Pistons’ need for a second scoring option and more 3-point shooting, but they have players on the roster who could provide both with big second halves to the season.
There’s not much to complain about after the 41 games, as the Pistons sit atop the Eastern Conference by 5.5 games and have amassed a 22-6 record against the East.
They’d done this despite myriad injuries to key players and the aforementioned lack of a consistent 2nd scoring option and little 3-point shooting.
The Pistons could address these needs at the trade deadline, but they also have players who could explode onto the scene in the second half and help strengthen some of those weaknesses.
