Kyle Singler could see time at shooting guard with Jodie Meeks (back) expected to miss two months, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Singler could see time at shooting guard with Jodie Meeks (back) expected to miss two months, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Analysis:

Meeks' injury opens the door for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who's dealing with a knee injury right now, to likely step into the starting role once the regular season tips off. After the Pistons' offseason moves, Singler was expected to see most of his action at small forward this year, but his versatility and previous experience at shooting guard allows the Pistons to use him at the two when injuries force their hand. The third-year wing should see a slight uptick in minutes while Meeks is out.
