Las Vegas — Dwane Casey had the summer attire down: a Detroit Tigers cap, shorts and a golf shirt. The new Pistons head coach dropped in on Thursday’s practice, getting a sneak peek of what to expect ahead of the Summer League opener on Friday.
Assistant coach Sean Sweeney is running the Summer League roster and Casey said he’s looking to see how some of the young players can augment the team. That includes Henry Ellenson, Luke Kennard and rookies Khyri Thomas and Bruce Brown, who are all on the summer roster.
Beyond them, Casey has been looking to the contributions that Stanley Johnson can bring in his fourth season, after an up-and-down start to his career.
