Pistons' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Scores 16 against the Raptors

Caldwell-Pope scored a team-high 16 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT) to go with two steals and one assist across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 103-92 preseason loss to the Raptors.

Analysis:

Caldwell-Pope was having some shooting trouble earlier in the preseason, but closed out the exhibition schedule with a 12-of-25 mark from the field over the final two games, helping him amass 39 total points. With Reggie Jackson (knee) sidelined to begin the season, Caldwell-Pope will likely be asked to take on a larger role in the offense, so continued efficiency from the field will be paramount to the team's success.
