Shot selection is paramount to running an efficient offense. Since the Detroit Pistons are a top-heavy team in terms of talent, and their two best players are two front court players in Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond, it would make sense that they would be near the top of the league in making shots around the rim. However, that is not the case for Detroit at all.
It’s not all Griffin and Drummond’s fault – both of them shot a combined 61.5 percent from five feet or less last season per NBA.com. However, it’s not all that impressive either.
