Washington, D.C. — Pistons general manager Troy Weaver is known for his moniker of restoring the franchise rather than calling it a rebuild. That’s been his method for bringing the Pistons back to their former glory also, trying to find hidden gems around the league — young players who maybe haven’t lived up to their potential so far in the NBA — as a potential short-term fix.
