With all the excitement around coming roster additions and upgrades through free agency and the draft, there comes a counterbalance. As new faces are added, familiar ones are sure to depart, and the Detroit Pistons have a number of surefire departures on deck.
Recently, Pistons’ beat writer Keith Langlois broke down the prospects of every player on the roster to return, ranging from the locks to come back like Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond, all the way to the likely outgoing Steve Blake and Lorenzo Brown. He broke them down into categories of “locks”, exclusively Jackson and Drummond, “almost certain”, consisting of Tobias Harris, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Stanley Johnson, Marcus Morris and Aron Baynes, and “solid bets”, including Darrun Hilliard and Reggie Bullock.
