The Detroit Pistons are stacked with young talent as general manager Troy Weaver has made the most out of his all-too-frequent high draft picks as of late.

Tom Gores knew what he needed to do when he opened up the checkbook, and he signed Monty Williams to the largest coaching contract in NBA history to help this young Pistons team progress.
With the new regime in Detroit officially underway and gaps to fill in his coaching staff, Williams has turned to those not only he is familiar with but names that fans are familiar with too.
