Coming off of an impressive win against the Boston Celtics, the Detroit Pistons have firmly placed themselves in the national spotlight.
Writers from around the NBA have been commenting on the Pistons, and most notably, the improvements key members of their core has made – namely Tobias Harris, Reggie Jackson, and Andre Drummond.
However, I’ve noticed some trends towards specific playtypes that are different than in years past as the core has developed.
Pistons fans are well aware of the reliance on the pick-and-roll in Stan Van Gundy’s system, and how important Reggie Jackson was to that equation after experiencing a frustratingly poor season from the Pistons a year ago.
