Pistons playbook thin so far as Casey focuses more on honing instincts

AUBURN HILLS – Dwane Casey is doing more instilling than installing these days.

If he were still coaching in Toronto – where he spent seven seasons, the bulk of them featuring an offense based on the perimeter skills of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan – Casey might have close to his full playbook in before the first preseason game.

How much is place for the Pistons in advance of Wednesday’s preseason opener at Oklahoma City?

“Very little,” he said after Tuesday’s practice – and he’s OK with that. Casey first wants to ingrain the underpinnings of his offense before cluttering minds with the specifics of individual plays.
