Auburn Hills — In a busy offseason, the Pistons will have several roster spots to fill, including a pair of point guards, a wing or two and a backup center.

Following a single season playing at the vet-minimum salary, Zaza Pachulia likely won’t return, leaving the Pistons to consider a couple of options, either in the draft or in free agency.

After hosting LSU’s Naz Reid on Monday for a predraft workout, the Pistons had two more big-man prospects, Maryland’s Bruno Fernando and Arkansas’ Daniel Gafford, on Tuesday, to become potential backups to Andre Drummond.
