Detroit — It wasn’t a normal first day on the job for Derrick Walton Jr. He didn’t need any help in finding his way around the city with a new team. It helped too that he was able to sleep in his old bed, with familiar surroundings.

After agreeing to a 10-day contract with the Pistons on Thursday, he had his first day on the job at the practice facility in Midtown and got to know his new teammates and new surroundings.
