#4 Reggie Bullock

If you would’ve told me last summer that I would, someday, list Reggie Bullock as the fourth best player on the Detroit Pistons, I would’ve thought you were crazy.

Bullock has largely struggled to find footing in the league until last year. After multiple disappointing seasons and injuries, Bullock finally found his stride in 2017-18.

Before 2017-18, the most minutes per game had Bullock averaged was 15. Last season he was all the way up to 27 minutes per game, and he made the most of that time.

He was one of the NBA leaders in 3-point field goal percentage, hitting them at a 44.5 percent clip. Furthermore, he proved to be an effective defender who can guard three positions on the court. He will have problems with the bigger small forwards of the league, but he at least showed he can switch and stay with guys at that position.

As I said in the Kennard section, it’ll be interesting to see who wins the battle to start between these two. It looks like Bullock will slide into the starting lineup at the beginning of the season, but if he can’t sustain his insane shooting from last year, it might open up an opportunity for Kennard.
