17. Detroit Pistons
Backcourt: Brandon Jennings & Reggie Jackson
Maybe the Pistons will go another route with these two, but for now they need to be the starters – even if they are small and neither is a great defender or shooter.
Jennings is more of a distributor, while Jackson has a lights out approach. Together they will score in bunches, but they will also give up plenty of points on the defensive end. If either player can hit the perimeter shot with consistency, they will give every opposing team fits.
