23. Reggie Jackson, Reggie Bullock – Detroit Pistons

The Detroit Pistons are another team that is struggling when it comes to their backcourt. After a really good season two years ago, Reggie Jackson has struggled to live up to expectations. And because of that, they’ve missed the playoffs each of the last two years.

His running mate is Reggie Bullock, who is a small name that is often overlooked. Frankly, he’s been fine in his role but not good enough where he should be any team’s starting shooting guard. That’s been the biggest problem for this team, too.

They have two solid backcourt players, but I’m not sure either is a guy you want to be a starter on your team. They’re solid, and even better when they’re reserves.
