| |  | DETROIT: GUARDS: BRANDON JENNINGS got a three-year deal to prove himself as a capable point guard, not just a flashy scorer. He'll have plenty of talent surrounding him in Detroit . . . RODNEY STUCKEY is in a contract year and has plenty of motivation. The question is whether his decision-making will ever allow him to play full-time . . . CHAUNCEY BILLUPS could beat out Stuckey for the two-guard role. He can play both backcourt spots and should see plenty of minutes . . . KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE scored through a lot of double-teams in college. We'll see if the late-bloomer is able to be as effective against NBA athletes. With the depth in Detroit, he's looking at strictly second-unit minutes this year . . . WILL BYNUM is locked into a second-unit spot. FORWARDS: JOSH SMITH is Detroit's new alpha dog. Offensively, he's a boom-or-bust player now that he'll spend more time on the perimeter . . . KYLE SINGLER was a steadying presence last year, and with his ability to play multiple spots, he should continue to get solid minutes off the bench . . . Italian League MVP LUIGI DATOME gives them a Swiss army knife type off the bench . . . It's back to square one for JONAS JEREBKO, who fell out of favor under Lawrence Frank. He has the kind of positional flexibility and versatility GM Joe Dumars has talked up, but he'll have to earn second-unit minutes . . . Second-rounder TONY MITCHELL is an NBA athlete who can break this rotation if the effort is there . . . CHARLIE VILLANUEVA gets paid a lot of money to do very little. CENTERS: GREG MONROE will give up some touches with Josh Smith coming in, but being surrounded by athletes like Smith and Andre Drummond will cover up his defensive flaws . . . ANDRE DRUMMOND will log close to full-time minutes with Monroe playing primarily the four. His offensive game may never come, but he's a defensive and rebounding monster. JOSH HARRELLSON will be a fan favorite who plays hard in the rare occasions he sees the floor. | | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: Late last year, JOHN WALL finally started to fulfill his promising talent. He got wherever he wanted on the court, and the Wizards were very tough to guard with all the shooters surrounding him . . . BRADLEY BEAL and Wall should mesh beautifully. Beal is a potentially elite shooter, and he rebounds very well for a guard . . . ERIC MAYNOR is fully healthy again after tearing his ACL two seasons ago. He can play some alongside Wall, but mostly he'll be the league's best back-up point guard again . . . GLEN RICE JR. doesn't shoot it nearly as well as his father, but he's an athlete who could break into the rotation down the line . . . GARRETT TEMPLE is insurance in case Wall or Maynor goes down. FORWARDS: The Wizards need NENÊ’S low post offense. It seems inevitable that they'll have to cap his minutes . . . OTTO PORTER is likely to step into the starting lineup early on. They need his defense, as he can guard twos through fours . . . MARTELL WEBSTER will platoon with Porter, providing another outstanding shooter for Wall to feed . . . TREVOR ARIZA is playing out the string on an untradeable deal . . . TREVOR BOOKER has some use as a screener and low-post banger, but not much else . . . AL HARRINGTON may be inefficient, but he can score points in a hurry and is a decent defender'JAN VESELY is still trying to figure out the NBA, though it's too early to give up on his athleticism . . . CHRIS SINGLETON can defend, but he's no more than a garbage-time player due to his atrocious offense. CENTERS: EMEKA OKAFOR may be absurdly overpaid, but he's settled in as a passable starter who helps defensively and doesn't hurt on offense. He'll also miss the beginning of the season with a herniated disc . . . With Okafor's deal expiring at the end of the year, KEVIN SERAPHIN is auditioning to be Washington's center of the future.

*Pistons-Wizards Preview* =========================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Detroit (14-16) at Washington (12-13), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Detroit Pistons' road success was brought to at least a temporary halt by a sub-par opponent.
Visiting a Washington Wizards team likely without Bradley Beal could provide them a good opportunity for a quick recovery.
Detroit seeks its eighth road win in 10 tries Saturday night against the Wizards.
The Pistons (14-17) had won seven of eight away from home and three in a row prior to Friday's 109-92 loss at Orlando - which had dropped five straight at home.
They were uncharacteristically outscored 58-48 in the paint and have allowed 54.5 points in the paint while losing three of four. They had limited teams to an average of 41.4 points in the paint in their previous 27 games.
The starting frontcourt of Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe and Josh Smith combined to go 10 of 34 from the field with 21 points Friday. Detroit's 41.1 field-goal percentage was the club's worst over its last 12 games.
"From the start of the game, we just couldn't get anything going," coach Maurice Cheeks said. " ... We couldn't get anything going offensively, they pushed the ball down our throat defensively, and then we didn't make any shots."
Monroe - who was just 3 of 9 with six points - is averaging 22.0 points and 15.0 rebonds over his last three games versus Washington. He finished with 24 and 16 in a 113-102 season-opening home win on Oct. 30 - the Pistons' 15th in 17 meetings. Detroit shot 50.0 percent from the floor while claiming a 56-28 advantage in points in the paint.
The Wizards (12-14) are averaging just 92.3 points during their struggles versus Detroit and could be again offensively challenged Saturday without Beal.
Beal, who was playing in just his fourth game since returning from a stress fracture in his right leg, exited with a left leg injury in the fourth quarter of Friday's 120-98 loss at Minnesota. He scored 14 points in 26 minutes before hitting the ground after he was caught on a screen and had to be helped to the locker room.
X-rays came back negative, though he's scheduled for an MRI on Saturday.
"I was just trying to really get up and I really couldn't get up," Beal said. "Was hoping it wasn't anything too serious or too crazy. I mean, I was able to put a little weight on it afterwards. Just have to see with the MRI tomorrow."
The second-year guard is averaging 19.2 points and is the team's top 3-point shooter, knocking down 45.3 percent from beyond the arc. Washington went 4-5 without him earlier in the season.
"With the knee injuries going on this year in the NBA, you just hope (Beal's) isn't one of those ones that (is) devastating," said John Wall, who scored a game-high 26.
The Wizards are shooting 24.6 percent from 3-point range during a three-game home losing streak. They made 39.5 percent of their 3-point attempts during a 6-2 start at home.
Perhaps Trevor Ariza can help reignite the team's shooting in Washington. He's averaging 21.5 points on 60.0 percent shooting - including a 12-of-23 mark from long distance - over his last four games versus Detroit. He scored a season-high 28 while going 6 of 11 from deep in the season's first matchup.
