After the emergence of the “Goin To Work” Detroit Pistons<\/a> era in the 2000s, which brought Detroit an NBA title in 2004, the following decade has been a rollercoaster for the Motor City.<\/p>\n

The Pistons in the 2010s have been a decade full of shortcomings, head-scratching draft picks, as well as unforeseen futures. The team has missed six straight playoff appearances beginning in 2010. Although they have made two playoff appearances within the last four years, both of them have resulted in gruesome sweeps.<\/p>\n

However, despite the Pistons’ darkest moments, there have been some bright moments within the players that have made the most of their time in Detroit during the 2010s.<\/p>\n

Guard: Reggie Jackson\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In spite of his shortcomings, Reggie Jackson<\/strong><\/a> has been one of the best point guards in Detroit since Chauncey Billups<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In his first season with the Detroit Pistons in 2017, he averaged 17.6 points, 9.2 assists, and 4.7 rebounds. The following season, he averaged a career-high 18.8 points, 6.2 assists, and 3.2 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Reggie Jackson’s time in Detroit allowed him to showcase his ability to be a franchise point guard. This was an opportunity that he didn’t quite have with the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>, shadowing Russell Westbrook<\/a><\/strong>. From the three-point line, Jackson shot as high as 36 percent. He’s currently ranked 8th in 3-point field goals made in franchise history.<\/p>\n

Guard: Brandon Jennings\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Brandon Jennings<\/strong><\/a> came to Detroit in between the arrival of Josh Smith<\/a><\/strong> and before the Reggie Jackson era. During this time (2 seasons) Jennings averaged 15 points, 7 assists, and 2.6 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Jennings was a solid contributor to Detroit during the transitioning phase. He also made great plays for the team, including a lay-up game-winner against the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> in 2015.<\/p>\n
