That 5 could be a run&gun lineup that has good spacing good perimeter defense and bad interior defense. Could give the spark you need from time to time.
Unlike first round picks, who have a scale salary (see question number 49), second round picks do not have any specific salary restrictions. They may sign for any amount from the minimum to the maximum, but players who last to the second round of the draft seldom command more than the minimum salary.
Also unlike first round picks, teams do not receive a salary cap exception specifically for their second round picks. These players must be signed using cap room or an available exception (see question number 25), such as the Minimum Salary exception or the Mid-Level exception. It is most common for a second round pick to receive the minimum salary and be signed using the Minimum Salary exception. However, since the Minimum Salary exception limits contracts to two seasons, it is not uncommon for teams to use a portion of their Mid-Level exception in order to sign the player for three seasons. This gives the team full Bird rights at the end of the contract, and avoids the Gilbert Arenas provision (see question number 45).
Unsigned second round draft picks do not have a cap hold.

So for Detroit to sign Gbinije they have to use their remaining cap space or what would likely be a portion of the room exception. I'm thinking they would want him on a 3-year deal though, like they did with DInwiddie and Hilliard, so using cap space is more likely.
If Brown is cut and assuming Gbinije gets a minimum contract, the Pistons could have a rough maximum of just over $3 million in cap space. Which is basically the same amount as the room exception, so if the team signs a different point guard it will probably be with that. Seems like Lorenzo might have a solid chance at securing the last roster spot though. The third point guard spot is the only one open and up for grabs without a trade happening.

I would be surprised if Baynes was still around after the deadline... so he may be the main backup until February to build trade value.
