Now that the Detroit Pistons have officially brought back Reggie Bullock, I can put him on this list.

The 27-year-old had a career-year last season. Bullock finished second in the NBA when it came to 3-point shooting with a percentage of 44.5.

He followed that up with career-highs in points (11.3), rebounds (2.5), and assists (1.5) per game. Bullock’s aforementioned 3-point percentage and overall field goal percentage (48.9) were also his highest to date.

Even with the emergence of Luke Kennard, Bullock still offers more size, experience, and overall consistency. Both are sub-par defenders at best. But Kennard allowed 0.926 points per possession (PPP) last season, while Bullock only allowed 0.915 PPP.

That extra length gives him the edge over Kennard on defense.
