Squad Weaknesses
One thing that should concern Dwane Casey entering this season is his bench. Detroit's backups averaged the tenth worst point average in the NBA last year with 33.8, shooting just 43% from the field. However, it might get worse for the Pistons, since two of their top bench performers, Tolliver and Ennis are no longer with the team. Because none of their summer signings is enough to cover for that, Casey will have to work hard to get the most out of his bench this year.
The Pistons didn’t get enough from the free throw line too. They were 25th in the league in free throw attempt rate and free throw percentage. As proven in Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals, free throws can be very crucial. Therefore, it's tough to go places when you don’t get to the line enough and/or shoot well from it. It should be one of Detroit's focal points in training camp.
