2017-18 Pistons review: Eric Moreland established himself as a solid backup center

Eric Moreland managed to make the front office that signed him look both smart and dumb at the same time.

After an injury-plagued start to his NBA career, Moreland was out of the league in 2016-17, spending the season in the D-League. Things finally went his way with the Canton Charge, where he made the D-League All Star Game, was third team All-NBA D-League, and the NBA D-League All-Defensive Team.

The Pistons brought Moreland in for a look with their Summer League team and liked what they saw. A springy big man who is willing to do the dirty work, play hard, and knows how to rebound and block shots.
