Dwane Casey: Pistons centers have ability, need time, to shoot from deep

Special to The Detroit News

Detroit — Pistons coach Dwane Casey discussed the use of his starting 6-foot-9 center, Isaiah Stewart, and much-used 6-foot-11 reserve center, Marvin Bagley III, prior to Sunday afternoon’s game with the Knicks.

The lead topic was the need for their improved 3-point shooting and obtaining the spacing on the court to do that.

Pistons center Isaiah Stewart entered Sunday's game shooting 27.5% from 3-point range for his career.

“They have the ability, too,” said Casey, “and it doesn’t matter which one. Marvin is coming up and setting the screens and Isaiah has the space in the corner.
