2015 Pistons preview: The time is now for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope looks to deliver on promise in his third season - this time with higher stakes.

As a rookie two years ago, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope lucked into a starting job. The team needed a starting shooting guard and KCP was essentially the only candidate.

Rodney Stuckey might have been the best choice, but he had only found his groove the previous year after moving to the bench. Kyle Singler was a starter for most of 2012-13 but with a new jumbo frontcourt of Josh Smith along with Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond, moving another player up one spot from their natural position didn't make much sense.
