The Pistons shot 54.4% from the floor and they outrebounded the Nets 47-31 on their way to a very easy victory over the visiting Nets last night. Jonas Jerebko (20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in 25 minutes on the floor), Rodney Stuckey (19 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal) and Greg Monroe (18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) led the way for the Pistons last night. Ben Gordon (14 points) and Brandon Knight (13 points) also pitched in for the Pistons last night. The Pistons are now 8-20 on the year.

20-year old point guard Brandon Knight has been a light in the darkness so far this year for the Pistons. He has played in 27 games (21 starts) for the Pistons so far this year and he is averaging 32.1 minutes, 12.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. The Pistons need to make sure that Knight gets to play at least 30 minutes per night as he is the second big piece in the rebuilding project that’s going on right now with center Greg Monroe being the first. 29-year old undrafted rookie point guard Walker Russell has been getting some P.T. as of late. He has played in 12 games (0 starts) for the Pistons so far this year and he is averaging 18.3 minutes, 4.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. But, he is only shooting 33.9% from the floor and that is going to cause the Pistons to cut his minutes if he doesn’t improve soon. 25-year old power forward Vernon Macklin isn’t getting much time to show what he can do so far this year. He has played in 13 games (0 starts) for the Pistons so far this year and he is averaging 4.8 minutes, 1.6 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.2 assists per game. It wouldn’t hurt to start giving Macklin a few more minutes to give the Pistons a chance to evaluate him more.
