For evidence, consider Wednesday's 113-104 preseason win against the Milwaukee Bucks.

All three took turns running Detroit's offense, but it was their ability to score in bunches that helped the Pistons (2-0) remain undefeated in the preseason.

They combined for 68 points, with Gordon leading with 24 points.

They didn't rely solely on jumpshots, either. All three penetrated in the lane consistently and finished with layups or free throws after being fouled.

Some of Pistons coach John Kuester's early comments following the game centered on his three-guard attack.

"As explosive as they are, they're very unselfish, too," Kuester said. "They want other players to feel good about themselves."

In addition to points, the trio combined for nine of the team's 17 assists.

When on the court with Gordon and Bynum, Stuckey, the team's starting point guard, plays the small forward position.

"It'll be something that we'll do," Kuester said of the small lineup.

Stuckey said he hadn't played any small forward in practice.

"I think it can work," said Stuckey, who is 6-foot-5. "I'm not scared to guard anybody. If I have to guard a bigger person, I'll do it."

While Detroit's guards scored most of the points, the Pistons' big men also chipped in.

Detroit's first points came on a 16-foot jumper by Kwame Brown. Later in the first quarter, Ben Wallace used a cross-over dribble to get into the lane for a layup.

Detroit, however, trailed most of the first quarter.

"Early on, they were the aggressors. We weren't," Kuester said.

That all changed in the second quarter as Detroit opened with a 15-3 run to take a 39-33 lead.
