Pistons' biggest unsung hero finally shows his true potential

Paul Reed stepped up in a big way on Wednesday night against the Bulls with 28 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. Reed was forced into the starting center spot after various injuries to the Pistons' normal starters, and he filled it beautifully. Reed has played a great backup big role for the Pistons the last two seasons as a defensive specialist but he's now showing that he's got solid offensive talent as well and can play different roles if needed.

Paul Reed is a great piece to have in the rotation

The Pistons have progressively been dealing with more and more injuries over the last couple weeks, but were hoping to avoid them for their two best players this season - Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren.
