Blake Griffin Starter/Star 35.0 High 24.5 7.5 5.4 1.1 101.38 Detroit’s offense largely ran through Griffin as a point-forward.

(Wikipedia) NBA All-Star 2019, All-NBA Third Team 2019
Andre Drummond Starter/Star 33.5 High 17.3 15.6 1.4 3.4 99.26 The league’s most dominant rebounder anchored Detroit inside.

Reggie Bullock Starter/Star 30.8 Medium 12.1 2.8 2.5 0.6 42.24 A low-maintenance floor spacer who thrived next to the Pistons’ stars. Bullock’s movement shooting and strong three-point accuracy stretched defenses and opened driving lanes for teammates. (Wikipedia)
Wayne Ellington Key Contributor 27.3 Medium 12.0 2.1 1.5 1.2 38.19 Added instant perimeter shooting after arriving midseason. Much of his value came from constant off-ball movement that forced defenders to stay attached beyond the arc.
Luke Kennard Key Contributor 22.8 Medium 9.7 2.9 1.8 0.6 34.65 Operated as a secondary creator and shooter off the bench. Kennard’s touch from deep and feel for the game helped stabilize second-unit offense when Detroit needed extra spacing.

Langston Galloway Key Contributor 21.8 Low 8.4 2.1 1.1 0.6 25.62 Filled a microwave-scoring role from the bench. Most of his offensive value came from spot-up shooting and his willingness to fire quickly when defenses lost track of him.
Stanley Johnson Key Contributor 20.0 Low 7.5 3.6 1.3 1.3 28.14 Defense remained his calling card. Johnson often drew difficult wing assignments and supplied physicality, though offensive consistency continued to be a challenge.

Zaza Pachulia Bench 12.9 Low 3.9 3.9 1.3 0.8 19.80 Served as an experienced reserve big. Screening, positioning and veteran decision-making were the main contributions he supplied in limited minutes. NBA Champion 2018, NBA Champion 2017

Glenn Robinson III Bench 13.0 Low 4.2 1.5 0.4 0.5 13.20 Athletic wing who supplied energy, transition play and defensive activity in a supporting role before being moved during the season. NBA Slam Dunk Contest Champion 2017

Khyri Thomas Bench 7.5 Low 2.3 0.8 0.3 0.5 7.80 Rookie guard whose minutes were sporadic. Defensive effort and perimeter pressure were more noticeable than his offensive production.
Svi Mykhailiuk Bench 6.7 Low 2.0 0.7 1.3 0.3 8.60 Brief late-season audition highlighted the shooting ability that made him an intriguing developmental wing prospect.
Kalin Lucas Bench 6.0 Low 2.0 3.0 1.0 0.0 12.00 Logged only a single appearance, making meaningful evaluation difficult beyond providing emergency backcourt depth.
Zach Lofton Bench 4.0 Low 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 2.00 Appeared in one game and had no opportunity to establish a consistent role within the rotation.
TEAM TOTALS 242.1 107.0 45.0 22.5 10.9 674.72 Blake Griffin’s star-level offensive creation and Andre Drummond’s elite rebounding formed the identity of a Detroit team that returned to the playoffs in 2018-19. NBA Playoff Appearance 2019

NBA All-Star 2019, All-NBA Third Team 2019
Andre Drummond Starter/Star 31.8 High 14.3 13.0 2.3 2.8 85.01 Anchoring the paint on both ends, Drummond controlled the glass throughout the series and averaged a double-double.

Reggie Jackson Starter/Star 27.0 High 17.8 3.3 7.0 0.8 76.03 As Detroit’s primary ball-handler, Jackson pushed the pace whenever opportunities appeared and generated most of the club’s perimeter creation. His 17.8 points and 7.0 assists reflected a heavy offensive burden.
Luke Kennard Key Contributor 33.3 Medium 15.0 4.0 1.8 1.1 50.36 Operating as a movement shooter and secondary scorer, Kennard was one of Detroit’s few reliable offensive threats. His 60.0% three-point shooting forced Milwaukee’s defense to stay attached well beyond the arc. Rising Stars Challenge Participant 2019
Wayne Ellington Starter/Star 32.8 Medium 7.8 3.8 1.3 0.8 32.71 Spacing was his primary job, but Milwaukee’s defense made life difficult for Detroit’s shooters. Even so, Ellington continued to fly off screens and stretch the floor in a high-minute role.
Langston Galloway Key Contributor 27.5 Medium 7.8 3.8 1.0 1.5 32.11 Providing instant offense off the bench, Galloway hunted catch-and-shoot opportunities and supplied some needed energy. His shot wasn’t always falling, but he remained aggressive from deep.
Ish Smith Key Contributor 20.3 Medium 6.0 2.8 3.5 1.1 30.03 Bringing speed to the second unit, Smith repeatedly looked to attack gaps in transition and off high screens. His quickness helped Detroit generate offense when half-court possessions stalled.
Thon Maker Key Contributor 17.3 Low 5.5 2.3 1.0 1.0 20.58 Used as an energy big against his former team, Maker’s mobility and length stood out more than his shooting. He provided occasional rim protection and defensive activity in limited minutes.
Khyri Thomas Bench 5.0 Low 4.7 0.7 0.0 0.7 12.20 The rookie only saw brief action, but he played with defensive intensity and showed flashes of the disruptive perimeter play that earned him opportunities late in the year.
Bruce Brown Key Contributor 14.3 Low 3.3 2.0 0.5 0.8 13.86 A defense-first guard by trade, Brown spent much of the series chasing difficult assignments. His offensive role was small, but his physicality remained valuable.
Glenn Robinson III Bench 12.0 Low 4.3 2.3 0.7 0.7 16.00 Used in a reserve wing role, Robinson supplied athleticism and transition play. His minutes fluctuated, though he continued to attack the glass and run the floor. NBA Slam Dunk Contest Champion 2017
Zaza Pachulia Bench 11.0 Low 2.5 4.5 0.0 0.0 14.00 The veteran center mainly provided screening, rebounding and physical interior play. His experience helped stabilize short bench stretches against a deep Milwaukee frontcourt. NBA Champion 2017, NBA Champion 2018
José Calderón Bench 3.3 Low 0.0 0.0 1.7 0.3 4.00 Serving as an emergency veteran ball-handler, Calderón’s contributions came through organization and decision-making rather than scoring.
Jon Leuer Bench 5.0 Low 2.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.00 Limited to a brief appearance, Leuer provided frontcourt depth but did not play enough minutes to establish a meaningful impact on the series.
TEAM TOTALS 240.0 98.0 42.3 23.0 11.3 489.63 Detroit’s offense struggled against Milwaukee’s length and defensive pressure, with Griffin, Drummond and Jackson carrying most of the workload during the 2019 first-round playoff series. NBA Playoff Appearance 2019
