After 20 games, the Detroit Pistons come in 22nd in offensive rating at 110.0 and 20th in points per game at 110.2. Those might seem semi-encouraging for those who watch the team closely, but the fact remains this is a team that simply is not good at making shots. The Pistons are have the second-worst field goal percentage at 44%, and their 3-point percent is 33%, which is good for 24th in the league.
The saving grace of their offense this season is the team’s league-leading 27.9 free-throw attempts per game, and 79% success rate, which is good for 14th in the NBA.
