Detroit — Coach Dwane Casey isn’t going to just go through the motions. The Pistons’ remaining 25 games aren’t just an exercise in putting out the lineup with the youngest players, looking to get them experience at the expense of things more important to building a winning culture.
In Casey’s second season, the wheels have fallen off the Pistons’ playoff train, but he says he’s not willing to let go of his standards for distributing playing time and for gauging his young players.
