Pistons clearly, clearly do not have the best bench in the league. But they definitely have a really solid PF-C sub in Maxiell. A full court press primarily defense PG in Linsey Hunter. And an aging and unreliable shot-blocker in Theo Ratliff. Those are the three pieces that are most likely to contribute on a consistent basis in the playoffs, if healthy. Jarvis Hayes and Juan Dixon are 10-12 type guys in playoff rotations. Rodney Stuckey has a pretty steady hand, decent driving ability, and a decent stroke on the jumper but he's a rookie guard and you really have no idea what you can get out of him come playoff time. He's the highest upside guy for the Pistons though, I like his potential. Afflalo is a really good defender for a young player but the refs will kill his game in the playoffs. Amir is simply not ready for primetime. In the end I see the Pistons as having some real potential for growth in some players on their bench but as of right now they are young and inexperienced and generally unimpressive in players 6-12.
