Pistons News: Darrun Hilliard's minutes; Greg Monroe weighs in on Drummond; Brandon Jennings to claim backup PG position

Brandon Jennings and Darrun Hilliard could be the spark the bench needs

With almost a quarter of the season behind us, several things have become apparent: Andre Drummond is dominating in the paint, Stanley Johnson is the real deal, Marcus Morris has the tools to become an effective two-way player and the Pistons' bench is an inconsistent abyss. Detroit's reserves have struggled out of the gate so far, with Aron Baynes the only backup who can claim to have made a positive impact on the court efficiency-wise. Veterans Steve Blake and Anthony Tolliver have at times been able to provide some offense alongside rookie Stanley Johnson, but their production is inconsistent and has often not been up to par.
