Pistons' Hilliard trying to find his NBA niche

Rookie Stanley Johnson is drawing as much attention from the Detroit Pistons' fan base as Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond.

But there is another member of the rookie class: swingman Darrun Hilliard. And while it's unlikely he will carve out a role in the rotation, the second-round pick has a nice feel for the game.

"I got a lot of faith and confidence in myself and in my teammates and I know how to play," Hilliard said Wednesday. "I just got to try to find my niche -- whether it's making shots or putting the ball on the floor and getting to the basket or setting something up for my teammates.
