This past season wasn’t all it was supposed to be for the Detroit Pistons. We all know that. Most pundits will agree that it stemmed from Reggie Jackson‘s injury issues. It was also pretty apparent that Andre Drummond suffered mightily because of it.
When Jackson went down due to knee tendinitis, the Pistons were forced to adopt a different style of play than the one-five pick and roll they had all grown accustomed to running. Relying in turn on more ball movement (or lack there of at times), and the one-in, four-out style of play that coach Stan Van Gundy is known for.
