There was a time just a few short months ago that the Detroit Pistons were mocked as the dumping ground for centers.
There was truth behind the joke. Shortly after free agency began, Detroit signed Mason Plumlee and Jahlil Okafor, made trades for Dewayne Dedmon and Tony Bradley, and used a first-round pick on Isaiah Stewart.
Sure enough, the ‘5’ spot has been a point of clarity on a roster devoid of top-notch talent. Plumlee has provided high-level awareness in the starting role.
