Auburn Hills — In the midst of a whirlwind rookie season, Pistons guards Bruce Brown and Khyri Thomas are having to do a lot of learning on the fly.

It’s enough to make their heads spin, but Brown started in the season opener because of an injury to Reggie Bullock and as he learned the ropes, he moved back from reserve to a starter in 24 games.

Thomas hasn’t risen as quickly but his playing time is getting steadier, as he’s played in seven of the past 10 games and is averaging 10 minutes per game in that span.
