Since taking over basketball operations of the Pistons last year, Ed Stefanski has put his imprint on the franchise, revamping the roster with several new pieces and building around the core of Blake Griffin, Andre Drummond, Reggie Jackson and Luke Kennard.

He’s added a couple of nice second-round picks in Bruce Brown and Khyri Thomas in his first draft and followed with Sekou Doumbouya, Deividas Sirvydis and Jordan Bone this year.

More importantly, Stefanski has brought in some experienced veterans in Derrick Rose, Tony Snell, Markieff Morris and Tim Frazier to help bolster the depth.
