“P-Reed is one of the most unsung guys in all of this,” Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said before the game. “If he was in any other situation, he’s proven that he’s been as a starter some places sometimes, as a backup for sure, as a big in this league who comes in and instantly gives you impact. Like the other night in Charlotte when he came in after not playing, the impact that he had in that game, he helped us win that game. He’s elite with his hands defensively. He comes up with steals, deflections, blocked shots. Offensively, his ability to finish around the rim, make stand-still threes. He adds a level of energy and versatility to us.”
