Pistons vs. Wizards preview: Detroit goes to Washington to find a new backcourt identity

The Detroit Pistons are trying to invent its backcourt rotation anew after recent trades sent away sniper Svi Mykhailiuk and rock-solid playmaker Delon Wright. Yesterday, the team had a chance to try its latest acquisitions, Hamidou Diallo, who looks to have a long-term future in Detroit, and Cory Joseph who likely does not. Regrettably, Detroit couldn’t play its earlier acquisition, Dennis Smith Jr., who sat with some back issues. Because DSJ is day-to-day, he could be back on the floor. This would give us a chance to see a very intriguing defensive tandem at the guard positions of him and Diallo.
