The Detroit Pistons suffered to the end at backup point guard a season ago. Behind Reggie Jackson was the duo of Steve Blake and Spencer Dinwiddie. Blake was too old and washed up years ago, and Dinwiddie was too young and inexperienced, lacking of NBA game experience.
Dinwiddie got a shot early in the season to take the reins of the backup spot, but he was too raw and not ready. Thanks to his veteran experience, Blake took over the position for the bulk of the rest of the season, and things did not go well for the Pistons when he was on the floor.
