Wendell Moore News: Productive off bench

Moore finished Sunday's 124-104 win over the Wizards with four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes.

With Tim Hardaway (head) sidelined, Moore has taken advantage of some newfound minutes. He's played at least 23 minutes in three straight contests, averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 56.2 percent from the field. Despite the recent uptick in playing time, Moore doesn't appear to be viewed as a key piece of Detroit's future. The Pistons declined the 23-year-old wing's $4.57 million fourth-year team option back on Oct. 31, per Michael Scotto of USA Today.
