The Detroit Pistons 2012 NBA season has been one building to the addition of another piece to the puzzle. This is not a bad thing. This is exactly what has been expected. What has not been expected is the development of Greg Monroe into the clear number one player on the Pistons roster and the ease with which Brandon Knight has been able to join the starting lineup as the starting point guard. These two players who are a major part of Joe Dumar’s second rebuilding plan and they are making Pistons tickets to the Palace at Auburn Hills more than worth their price.

About The Detroit Pistons
Monroe came into the league a questionable NBA center. Two seasons in, he is clearly comfortable at the position. He will never be a shot blocker, but he is a great rebounder, terrific passer, and possesses a high basketball IQ with regards to scoring, as evident by his 53 percent from the field. Over the course of the next seasons, Dumars and the Pistons fan base would like to see the adoption of an offense that runs through him at the elbow. His passing is a rare commodity allowing for a sort of a hybrid Princeton offense at the professional level.
Knight has spent his rookie season adjusting to the speed of the NBA and learning to play with Rodney Stuckey, the Pistons’ last scoring point guard. Obviously, these two cannot coexist for much longer. Thus, it might be wise to let Stuckey find a new home as soon as possible and replace him with a defensive ace on the perimeter with an outside shot. Thus, Knight could penetrate and find his own shot, but have a shooter without the demanding mentality of a scorer.
Dumars must be ready to dissolve his first rebuilding plan completely. Prince should not be playing at the Palace at Auburn Hills for another three seasons and Stuckey should not there for two more. Trade these two a couple of solid rotation pieces from a deep playoff run and take on an expiring contract.
