|
| |  | 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. | | ORLANDO: GUARDS: With Dwight Howard gone, this becomes JAMEER NELSON's team on the offensive end. Injuries slowed him a year ago, but he still does a nice job creating his own scoring chances . . . ARRON AFFLALO will provide some much-needed defense on the perimeter, a huge team weakness that will be exploited in the post-Howard era. He'll be a No. 2 or 3 option on the offensive end as well . . . J.J. REDICK has a chance for a bigger role in what should be a transitional year in Orlando. He's no more of a defensive liability than Nelson . . . CHRISTIAN EYENGA was a throw-in during the Dwight Howard trade and defends well enough to earn a roster spot . . . ISHMAEL SMITH will back up Nelson once he returns from a shoulder injury . . . E'TWAUN MOORE has played well enough in the preseason to spell Nelson too. FORWARDS: HEDO TURKOGLU still has some value as a point forward, though his minutes could shrink as Orlando rebuilds . . . GLEN DAVIS shined in Howard's absence last year. He's inefficient, but aggressive and willing to throw his weight around . . . Keep an eye on ANDREW NICHOLSON; the rookie is a crafty scorer who can shoot away from the basket . . . QUENTIN RICHARDSON will chug along as an injury-prone, three-point specialist . . . AL HARRINGTON is coming off a couple knee surgeries and may not have much left in the tank . . . MOE HARKLESS is athletic, versatile, and could get a long look in the second half of the year . . . GUSTAVO AYON is a capable big body who can play some center . . . JUSTIN HARPER will be buried on the bench . . . JOSH McROBERTS is not good. CENTERS: Davis figures to see a lot of minutes at center, but NIKOLA VUCEVIC is a much better defensive option. He's limited offensively, but could start grabbing more minutes in the middle as the year goes on . . . KYLE O'QUINN is a big body who can score around the basket. He has a rough transition ahead of him as an average athlete from a small school. |

*Pistons-Magic Preview* =======================
By MATT BECKER STATS Editor
Detroit (2-9) at Orlando (3-7), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Orlando Magic have been brutal offensively the last two weeks, with their lone win being the exception.
The Magic will try to replicate that offensive showing in Wednesday night's rematch with the Detroit Pistons, who have been inconsistent defensively.
After opening the season by averaging 108.5 points in a pair of wins and scoring 93 in a loss to a Chicago team known for being tough defensively, Orlando (3-7) has had virtually no luck scoring. The Magic have gone 1-6 in their last seven while averaging 77.3 points and 39.9 percent shooting in the defeats.
As bad as it's looked, Orlando did manage to exhibit a legitimate NBA offense in a 110-106 win over the Pistons on Friday. J.J. Redick led the way with 23 points and Arron Afflalo scored 19 for the Magic, who shot a season-best 49.4 percent and had 66 points after halftime.
Orlando, however, has since reverted to its sputtering ways, falling 97-86 in Toronto on Sunday and shooting 37.8 percent in an 81-72 defeat to Atlanta on Monday.
With 11 points against the Hawks, Glen Davis was the only player to score in double figures for the Magic, who had all of their starters in double digits against the Pistons.
It didn't help that Redick (flu) and Jameer Nelson (cough) were not at full strength and combined for 10 points while shooting 4 of 15. Considering how the team has played, however, even a healthy Redick and Nelson might have not made much difference for Orlando, which had 17 assists to 19 turnovers and scored 12 third-quarter points.
"(We) just need to make the easy play," coach Jacque Vaughn said. "Basketball's complicated when you make it complicated. First guy that's open, pass it to him. Get movement and keep it simple."
The Magic didn't seem to have much trouble with that approach against Detroit, compiling 27 assists to 15 turnovers.
The Pistons (2-9) managed to clean up some of the defensive issues that plagued them against Orlando in a 103-83 win over Boston on Sunday. It helped that they were facing a Celtics team playing its fourth game in five nights, but coach Lawrence Frank was happy with the effort.
"We knew what their schedule situation was, and we wanted to take advantage," he said. "We were able to get key stops, and that opened everything up for us."
The Pistons, who held Boston to 4 of 17 from 3-point range, have allowed an average of 79.5 points in their two wins compared to 102.4 in their defeats.
"We've gotten both of our wins with a tough defensive mindset," Frank said. "That's the only way this team is going to consistently win games."
It hasn't hurt that the club is improving offensively.
Detroit shot a season-high 54.2 percent Sunday after hitting 53.7 percent against the Magic. It averaged 91.3 points and shot 41.9 percent in opening 0-8.
Greg Monroe had team highs of 20 points and 13 rebounds against the Celtics and led six Pistons in double figures with 23 versus Orlando.
Kyle Singler has scored 14 in each of the last two games, while Jason Maxiell has totaled 26.
