Former Pistons who made the playoffs: 3. Blake Griffin

As previously mentioned, Blake was brought to Detroit from the Clippers during the 2018 season. He ended up averaging 20.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 138 games for the Pistons. Quickly, he became the city’s superstar and beacon of hope,

Blake missed a lot of time due to injury. So much so that the Pistons and his timelines were no longer compatible. The Pistons bought him out of his contract and since then, Blake has played for the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics. He has been to the playoffs with both teams. Most recently, he went to the Eastern Conference Finals with Boston. There, he continues to provide veteran leadership and has earned the title of an extremely valuable role player.
