KEY GAME INFORMATION
PHOENIX: There were some trade rumors swirling around Eric Bledsoe this summer, but he's still in Phoenix and is the best guard on this roster by a wide margin . . . This summer, the Suns pulled up to Brandon Knight's house with a dump truck full of cash despite a track record of mediocre play. They're apparently trusting Knight to blossom in their uptempo attack . . . Sonny Weems returns from overseas as an effective defender, but long-range shooting remains a question mark . . . Devin Booker is one of the best pure shooters in this rookie class, though he'll need a year to learn on the job . . . Archie Goodwin will find minutes tough to come by until he develops a three-point shot . . . Ronnie Price gives them a veteran No. 3 point guard. Markieff Morris hasn't shown the ability to consistently knock down threes, which is something the Suns want out of the 4. He needs to shoot it well early to hold onto his starting job . . . P.J. Tucker was a little more assertive offensively late last season, but he's typically the fourth or fifth offensive option on the floor . . . Phoenix happily plucked Mirza Teletovic from the cash-strapped Nets, giving them a floor-spacing power forward to share time with Morris . . . Second-year man T.J. Warren is probably a better offensive player than Tucker, but he's a middling athlete better-suited defensively to the second unit . . . Veteran forward Jon Leuer is nice to have around as a practice player. Phoenix is counting on Tyson Chandler to provide some rim protection behind their middling defensive players. He'll also be relied on to do a lot of rebounding . . . The Suns will still find time for Alex Len, who could play alongside Chandler as a super-sized power forward at times. He added a corner three this summer.
DETROIT: Detroit's offense will be built around Reggie Jackson. He put up monster numbers in Detroit last year . . . Brandon Jennings likely won't be 100% when he returns in late December from a ruptured achilles. Van Gundy has said he'll play Jackson and Jennings together, but that seems like a disaster . . . Kentavious Caldwell-Pope figures to see plenty of minutes while Jennings works his way back. He failed to impress as a starter last season . . . After a disappointing first year in Detroit, Jodie Meeks will have to battle for a rotation spot . . . Spencer Dinwiddie will continue to make the transition to point guard . . . Darrun Hilliard is a solid catch-and-shoot player who could break the rotation in a year or two . . . Reggie Bullock needs to knock down shots if he's going to stay in the NBA.Van Gundy is putting together elements of his old Magic team; Ersan Ilyasova is the kind of floor-spacing power forward he wants around Andre Drummond . . . He's raw, especially on the offensive end, but Stanley Johnson is an explosive athlete on the wing and a tenacious competitor. He'll contribute big time as a rookie . . . Marcus Morris could push Ilyasova for minutes. He's another guy who can play the 4 but step out and knock down threes . . . Anthony Tolliver is still sticking around as a veteran presence off the bench. He's mostly 'locker room guy' at this point . . . Cartier Martin will play out his contact at the end of the bench.Andre Drummond is Van Gundy's new Dwight Howard. He will anchor the paint and the boards on both sides of the court . . . Aron Baynes comes over from San Antonio as a prototypical bruiser off the bench . . . Joel Anthony gives them another veteran defensive presence behind Drummond.
PREVIEW
Suns-Pistons Preview
By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer

Coach Stan Van Gundy figured the Detroit Pistons were going to take their lumps navigating through a difficult first portion of the schedule with Brandon Jennings still recovering from offseason surgery.

That's why he considers it an accomplishment to be heading into December sitting at .500.

Detroit continues its homestand Wednesday night against a Phoenix Suns team going through a rough patch that has dropped it below the break-even mark.

Jennings hopes to return at some point this month after suffering a torn left Achilles last season that forced him to miss the final 38 games and the first portion of this campaign, but the Pistons (9-9) have been playing decent basketball without him.

They won five of their first six before a three-week slump, then capped November with Monday's 116-105 victory over Houston to begin a four-game homestand. Being at .500 is more than respectable considering Detroit has played 11 road games, tied for the second-most behind Toronto's 12.

"We got through a difficult month and a week," Van Gundy said. "When I looked at the schedule in the summer - with all the new guys and the young guys and all of that - 9-9 would've been pretty good."

Reggie Jackson agrees. The Pistons rank near the bottom of the league in field-goal percentage at 41.5 and points per game with 96.6, but they put that aside Monday.

Detroit shot a season-best 52.9 percent and Jackson finished with 31 points while Andre Drummond had 24 and 13 rebounds. Rookie Stanley Johnson had his first double-double with 19 and 10.

"We'll take it. We'll take .500 right now," said Jackson, who shot a combined 8 for 36 over his previous two. "But we think we're a better team. We've got a long way to go. We've still got to prove to ourselves we're better than this. We've just got to shore up some things offensively. We feel like we're getting better, but still have a long way to go."

Jackson scored a game-high 23 points in a 100-92 win over the Suns (8-10) on Nov. 6, and Marcus Morris added 20 in his return to Phoenix after being traded in the offseason.

Morris' twin brother, Markieff, demanded a trade out of Phoenix following that deal but ultimately remained with the Suns and scored 18 points in the first meeting.

Markieff is coming off back-to-back rough outings, though, after going 3 for 11 from the field and scoring six points in Tuesday's 94-91 loss to Brooklyn. He made just 3 of 12 from the floor in Sunday's loss to Toronto that began a six-game road trip.

Former Piston Brandon Knight scored 26 points against the Nets and Eric Bledsoe added 17 for Phoenix, which has dropped six of eight following a three-game winning streak.

''We gave up a (nine-point) lead,'' Knight said. ''We were up in the third (quarter), second half. We just stopped getting stops and they executed down the stretch, got the stops they wanted and they played better to close the game.''

Alex Len had 13 points and a career-best 14 rebounds starting in place of center Tyson Chandler for the third time in four games. Chandler first was dealing with an illness before suffering a right hamstring strain in Friday's loss to Golden State.

Chandler's status for this matchup is uncertain.
