Pistons Tune Up: Markieff Morris needs to rebound the damn ball

The Detroit Pistons signed Markieff Morris to add toughness, veteran leadership, grit, blah blah blah. The team can talk about how the price was too good to pass up or that his brother Marcus, who was beloved in Motown, convinced his twin brother Detroit was a great place to play.

None of it really matters if Markieff Morris can’t do one thing — rebound the ball.

Jon Leuer, who Morris is ostensibly replacing in the lineup (and pegged to play a much ... ahem ... bigger role), didn’t really do anything right.
