Detroit Pistons training camp hasn’t opened up yet and it already appears they’ve made a roster decision.
Reading the tea leaves, Christian Wood doesn’t seem to have a spot in the Pistons rotations or reserves from comments made on media day and media reports.
On Sunday, the Detroit Free Press’ Vince Ellis reported that Joe Johnson will make the roster and Wood is out, though he didn’t rule out other possibilities that both could make the final roster. It derives from recent comments from Pistons coach Dwane Casey.
“The need is there, but we also have a need for that veteran play like a Joe Johnson who can put the ball on the floor, still make plays, still shoot the ball,” Casey said.
