Derrick Rose demonstrates in scrimmage why he'll be vital cog for Pistons

East Lansing — The Pistons punctuated their week of training camp with a shortened practice and intra-squad scrimmage on Saturday afternoon at Breslin Center.

To be clear, it wasn’t a high-stakes, winner-take-all atmosphere — Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond played in sweatpants — but it was the first glimpse at the revamped roster and how some of the rotation could piece together.

Coach Dwane Casey warned not to take too much from the starting lineups or rotation, but it was a predictable starting unit based on last season: Reggie Jackson, Bruce Brown, Tony Snell, Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond for the Blue Team and Tim Frazier, Langston Galloway, Luke Kennard, Markieff Morris and Thon Maker.
