Second Act

Pistons fans saw way more of last season’s three rookies than they ever expected, but playing time could be harder to come by in their NBA sophomore seasons assuming better health for the Pistons. That creates a situation they could find discouraging – and the coaching staff is ready to keep pushing them to stay focused and positive. See player development coach Steve Hetzel’s take in True Blue Pistons.

Summer School: Greg

After a big finish to Summer League, Greg Monroe came back to Detroit, found a place to live and had surgery to correct an issue with one of his toes. He headed back to Louisiana this week, then goes to Washington, D.C., to pack up his stuff at Georgetown and will be back in Detroit in two weeks to get ready for his rookie season. Read Greg’s firsthand account as Pistons.com continues its Summer School series.

Daye Glow

The Pistons told Austin Daye he needed to add strength over the summer in order to put himself in position to challenge for playing time in his second season. Daye showed the results of his hard work so far this off-season by looking like one of the best players in the NBA Summer League before a hip injury cut his schedule short. Pistons.com starts a five-part Summer League series with a look at Daye’s improved stock.
