Pistons' injury draws attention to bust on the bench

Tobias Harris had to sit last night with an ankle injury, which had some wondering if we’d finally get a look at second-year player Bobi Klintman.

Instead, coach JB Bickerstaff started Isaiah Stewart (who was brilliant) at power forward and used Paul Reed sparingly off the bench, so Klintman stayed where he’s been for most of his career, which is sitting on the pine.

It may be harsh to call Klintman a “bust,” as he was a second-round pick, a project that we knew would take some time to develop. It's not like he was a lottery pick the Pistons expected to play right away.
