In a dazzling late-season practice show, Jackson brightens Pistons 2017-18 outlook

AUBURN HILLS – Stan Van Gundy made clear he’s not sitting on his hands this summer on the expectation that the litany of Pistons players who had subpar shooting seasons will magically turn it around next season.

Although, yeah, his expectation is that they will shoot it better. They’re adapting the way their summer shooting drills are conducted for one thing, tailoring them to each individual but in general making sure players get up 3-point shots that come closer to approximating game speed and situations.

So that’s one item to juice up an offense largely responsible for a seven-win decline from last season’s 44-38 record and a playoff berth.
