A look at the Detroit Pistons player movement, projections, and fantasy basketball rankings, including a focus on potentially key fantasy contributors, such as Tobias Harris, Andre Drummond, Avery Bradley, and Reggie Jackson.
The Detroit Pistons got an upgrade at shooting guard, just don't expect Avery's rebound rate to remain as he goes from one of the worst rebounding teams in the league (Boston) to a team with Andre Drummond, a known rebounding machine.
Today we look at the Detroit Pistons player movement, projections, and fantasy basketball rankings, including a focus on potentially key fantasy contributors, such as Tobias Harris, Andre Drummond, Avery Bradley, and Reggie Jackson.

Andre Drummond (PF/C)
Drummond's value as a shot-blocker is over-stated, only managing 1.5 blocks per game for his career (1.1 last season). There's no denying his impact as a rebounder, though. And you obviously have to be aware of his worse-than-poor FT%.

Reggie had two things going against him last season; an injury, and a coach who doesn't like playing his starting point guard more than 30 minutes a game. He needs to add to his 3PM or steals tally if he wants to be a good fantasy option.
