Pistons' Reggie Jackson: Will move to bench role Wednesday

Jackson will move to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

Analysis:

Jackson saw just 20 minutes during Tuesday's game against the Nets, with backup point guard Ish Smith logging 28. Smith appeared to be the more effective player, finishing with 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals, which likely is the reasoning behind his elevation into the top unit Wednesday. That said, this may just be a one-game experiment for the Pistons, so there's a chance Jackson is back with the starters in Friday's tilt with the Magic. Jackson could be out-paced in minutes yet again by Smith, so there's a chance his already shrinking role could continue to tumble.
