|
| |  | DETROIT: GUARDS: RODNEY STUCKEY was hampered by nagging injuries a year ago. If he's healthy, he's the best offensive weapon they have . . . BRANDON KNIGHT is more of a combo guard running the point. He can shoot, but doesn't bring much else to the table . . . With Ben Gordon gone, WILL BYNUM has a chance to regain a significant role . . . The Pistons' two second-round picks have a chance to carve out big roles. KIM ENGLISH has a skill set similar to Gordon's, capable of heating up and scoring in bunches . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON is more of a spot-up, catch-and-shoot threat only . . . Former No. 6 overall pick JONNY FLYNN agreed to a non-guaranteed contract in October, as he is no guarantee to even make this sorry roster. FORWARDS: TAYSHAUN PRINCE is still hanging on as the Pistons' best all-around player . . . JASON MAXIELL should be able to reclaim his starting spot early. He rebounds and takes up space . . . JONAS JEREBKO showed flashes but looked rusty in his first year back from an Achilles injury . . . 2011 2nd-rounder KYLE SINGLER has a good chance to step into the rotation after a solid year in Spain . . . COREY MAGGETTE was acquired in a Ben Gordon salary dump. He'll see limited minutes . . . AUSTIN DAYE regressed big-time last year. Unless he gets off to a hot start, he'll be on the outside looking in at the rotation . . . TERRENCE WILLIAMS is seeking a new lease on life, but could be too much of a head case to realize he's wasting his talent . . . The Pistons are counting down the days left on CHARLIE VILLANUEVA's contract (two years). CENTERS: GREG MONROE is a solid fit in Frank's system. He's not a great athlete, but he can score and move the ball on offense, as well as rebound . . . ANDRE DRUMMOND could one day be a perfect fit alongside Monroe. But for now, he'll watch and learn as a raw, boom-or-bust prospect . . . VIACHESLAV KRAVTSOV is an athletic big who will bring energy, but little offense in limited minutes. | | CHARLOTTE: GUARDS: RAMON SESSIONS will have to adjust to a major downgrade in teammates, but he has the kind of versatile offensive skill set to be the focal point of this offense . . . The athletic GERALD HENDERSON has made strides the past two seasons. Realistically, his offensive skills are those of a No. 4 or 5 option . . . Coach Mike Dunlap is high on KEMBA WALKER, who was sometimes overwhelmed as a rookie. With a few new sets built in for him, he could thrive as a sixth man getting starter's minutes . . . BEN GORDON won't overtake Henderson, but should see big minutes as the Cats' only shooter . . . REGGIE WILLIAMS is a D-League talent . . . MATT CARROLL, in the final year of his $27 million deal, symbolizes everything that's gone wrong under Michael Jordan. FORWARDS: Drafting MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST was as much about changing the losing culture as it was adding a piece they needed. MKG's statistical output is a question mark, but he'll see big minutes as a defensive stopper and intangibles guy . . . This team is seriously lacking in the post, where they may have no choice but to play TYRUS THOMAS for significant minutes. The talented but uber-underachieving big man claims to have added 20 pounds of muscle in the offseason. If nothing else, they might showcase him in a desperate attempt to get some trade value . . . Rookie JEFFERY TAYLOR figures to make the team and has the versatility and athleticism to be a respectable second-unit guy. CENTERS: Charlotte sees BISMACK BIYOMBO as a franchise cornerstone. He can certainly rebound and block shots, but his offense is atrocious . . . BRENDAN HAYWOOD brings a veteran presence. At his age he can't go more than 15 or so minutes per night . . . BYRON MULLENS never saw a shot he didn't like. He'll get one more chance to prove he's an NBA rotation player, able to play the four or five . . . DeSAGANA DIOP is doing those things that DeSagana Diop does. |

*Pistons-Bobcats Preview* =========================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Detroit (23-47) at Charlotte (16-52), 7:00 p.m. EDT
Struggling at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings for most of the season, neither the Charlotte Bobcats nor the Detroit Pistons would seem to have much left to play for.
Still, Charlotte has shown signs of improvements of late, while Detroit is stuck in a season-high 10-game skid.
The Bobcats will try to win a third straight game for the second time on Saturday night while the Pistons look to snap their losing streak before it matches their longest in three years.
Charlotte's 16-52 record is still the worst in the NBA but it has won consecutive games for the first time since November. The team's offense, averaging 93.3 points per game, has looked much better in the back-to-back victories, scoring 107 and 119 points against Toronto and Washington, respectively.
The Bobcats have also cut down significantly on turnovers in their last 10 games, averaging 11.7 compared to 14.1 in the first 58 contests.
"We're going back to the way we were playing at the beginning of the season," said Byron Mullens, who has 27 points over the last two games on 5-of-10 3-point shooting. "I don't want to get way over the top with this because it's just two wins. But we'll take it for what it is. It's been a while since we've had that so I'm going to enjoy it."
Gerald Henderson continues to come into his own of late with 22.7 points per game on 50.0 percent shooting over his last seven. Henderson, who scored 21 on 8-of-14 shooting, along with seven rebounds and five assists in Wednesday's win over the Raptors, averaged 13.2 points while shooting 42.9 percent in his first 47 games.
An 11th consecutive loss for the Pistons (23-47) would be their longest since dropping 11 in a row from March 13-April 3, 2010. Despite the skid continuing with a 103-89 loss at Miami on Friday, there were signs of encouragement.
Detroit, which is losing by an average of 17.2 points during the slide, actually at one point threatened the Heat's now 25-game winning streak, leading for the majority of the first three quarters.
But coach Lawrence Frank wants to see him team play with motivation on a night it's not up against one of the league's elite teams.
"Now, we've got a quick turnaround," Frank told the team's official website. "And we've got to be ready. We have our own streak going. Bottom line for us is to compete every single night. You can't just do it in Miami. You've got to do it every night. That's the price of admission in the NBA."
The Pistons could be soon closer to full strength. Brandon Knight (ankle) has missed four games in a row but could return Saturday. Andre Drummond has missed the last 20 games with a fractured tailbone but took part in Friday's shootaround and continues to near his return as well.
Detroit has won six of the last seven meetings and four straight in Charlotte, including a 105-99 victory on Feb. 20 as Knight scored 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting.
Greg Monroe is averaging 19.3 points and 11.7 rebounds while shooting 56.8 percent in his last six games against the Bobcats.
