Henry Ellenson, Michael Gbinije

Henry Ellenson has been inactive for a large part of the season and thus only contributed in 18 games. Although, in eight of the games, he didn’t score any points, so it’s a bit difficult to evaluate him as a player.

It will be interesting to see if the Pistons end up keeping him and developing him more in the offseason and next season.

Michael Gbinije played in even fewer games due to also being inactive. It looks like the Pistons didn’t have much luck with their rookies this season.
