It looked like 35-year old center Ben Wallace enjoyed his return to the Pistons last season which makes me think that he wouldn’t mind coming back for 2010-11 if they want him still. Wallace played in 69 games (67 starts) for the Pistons last season and he averaged 28.6 minutes, 5.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocked shots per game. He has now played in 972 games (852 starts) in which he is averaging 30.7 minutes, 6.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.1 blocked shots per game. It will be interesting to see if the Pistons want Wallace back next season as they might think about going into a major rebuilding project in which he wouldn’t fit.

24-year old point guard Rodney Stuckey is a shoot first point guard with a problem: He’s not a good shooter. Stuckey only hit 40.5% of his shots from the floor last season and he was a pathetic 22.8% from three point range! He played in 73 games (67 starts) for the Pistons last season in which he averaged 34.2 minutes, 16.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Stuckey has now played in 209 games (134 starts) in his three years with the Pistons in which he has averaged 29.2 minutes, 13.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. It will be interesting to see if the Pistons try to build around Stuckey or if they try to trade him at some point over the summer.

23-year old power forward Jonas Jerebko made the biggest impact for the Pistons out of the draft picks this year. He played in 80 games (73 starts) for the Pistons this season and he averaged 27.9 minutes, 9.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He could be a starter for a long time on for the Pistons. 21-year old small forward Austin Daye also showed some potential for the Pistons despite his thin frame. He played in 69 games (4 starts) for the Pistons this season and he averaged 13.3 minutes, 5.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. He could also be a starter down the road for the Pistons. 22-year old forward DaJuan Summers looks like backup material. He played in 44 games (0 starts) for the Pistons last season and he averaged 9.2 minutes, 3.0 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.4 assists per game. The Pistons hope they will bring in a similar load of talent in this year’s NBA Draft.

The Pistons outscored the T-Wolves 35-19 in the fourth quarter last night as they seemed to want the game more. Tayshaun Prince led the way for the Pistons last night with 20 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists. Charlie Villanueva pitched in with 16 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots last night. The rookies of the Pistons all really played well last night. Austin Daye got a start last night and he finished up with 12 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in 30 minutes on the court. Jonas Jerebko also had a outstanding game with 12 points, 13 rebounds and 3 steals in 44 minutes on the court. DaJaun Summers also had a decent game with 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in 27 minutes on the court. The Pistons finish the season with a 27-55 record.

The Pistons didn’t play and D last night as the Raptors shot 60% from the floor and had an amazing 37 assists. Ben Gordon led the way for the Pistons last night with 24 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. It’s too bad he didn’t start playing like that a little earlier this year. Tayshaun Prince also had a decent game with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Charlie Villanueva pitched in with 16 points and 6 rebounds in only 24 minutes on the court. Will Bynum got a rare start scoring 12 points, grabbing 3 rebounds and dishing out 8 assists in 39 minutes on the court. The Pistons are now 26-55 on the season.
