Pistons go with Udrih’s experience over McCallum

Auburn Hills — On one hand, Ray McCallum made the Pistons’ roster on Saturday because of his NBA experience.

On Monday, he lost his spot because the Pistons found someone with more.

The Pistons changed course on their roster just two days before the start of the regular season, opting for veteran point guard Beno Udrih over McCallum.

They claimed Udrih, 34, off waivers from the Miami Heat and waived McCallum, who had beaten out Lorenzo Brown for the final roster spot.

It’s interesting timing, coming just ahead of the Pistons’ season opener in Toronto on Wednesday.
