The Pistons boast a powerful All-Star pairing in Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond, although the team still lacks depth. If the Pistons opt to bring back their All-Star duo next season, the recruitment of role players will be a major focus, and Dan Favale of Bleacher Report believes Wesley Matthews could be a target:

Wesley Matthews is a roller coaster. He dribbles into ill-advised jumpers, fancies himself a post-up artist at times and drilled only 28.3 percent of his pull-up threes with Indiana this season. But he can fire up the occasional pick-and-roll, will attack defenses before they're set and remains a dependable spot-up shooter. For what Detroit can pay, he's among the most versatile offensive options.

After appearing just two times while with the New York Knicks, Matthews joined the Pacers back in February. In Indiana, the 32-year-old started 23 times, averaging 10.9 points, 2.4 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game.
