AUBURN HILLS – It’s a stretch to say Stan Van Gundy’s level of confidence in the readiness of Stanley Johnson and Henry Ellenson for expanded roles will drive off-season roster building.
But off-season roster building might wind up meaning expanded roles for the two youngest Pistons.
Van Gundy admitted after the season ended that as Pistons coach, he gets a little more restless than his boss, Stan Van Gundy, Pistons president, or the guy he really credits with adjusting his perspective meter, general manager Jeff Bower. There are times after a tough loss, he admits, when he wants everyone traded.
