The Pistons are faced with a critical offseason that could present some big changes — or just a couple tweaks, as coach Stan Van Gundy said — to look to get back to the postseason next year.
Although they improved defensively this season, their offense lagged behind, ranking 28th in 3-pointers (33 percent), 26th in scoring (101.3) and 22nd in field goals overall (45 percent). Part of the struggles were due to Reggie Jackson missing 30 total games and just some poor shot selection and execution.
That’s something Van Gundy is looking to improve next season, with an eye on getting more players involved — and in different ways.
