Detroit — Monty Williams looked directly to his right and pointed at the large group of players he inherited when he accepted the job as new coach of the Pistons.
Among those in attendance for Williams' introductory press conference was Pistons owner Tom Gores, general manager Troy Weaver and players Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren and Isaiah Livers, who all sat in the front row to support their new head coach as he was officially welcomed by the organization.
It was the first time Williams would speak publicly about his new head-coaching opportunity, and he discussed several topics including his motivations for coming to Detroit, his plan for continuing the next phase of the franchise's "restoration," his coaching staff and his family, which includes his wife and six children.
