Welcome back to Detroit Pistons basketball, boys and girls. After a interminable nine-month hiatus, the Pistons will begin a season unlike any other facing a familiar foe, and a team that should stay familiar near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings this season — the New York Knicks.
More importantly, it’s a chance for Pistons fans to see what Dwane Casey has planned for an almost completely overhauled roster. Gone are incumbent starters Reggie Jackson, Andre Drummond, Luke Kennard and Bruce Brown. In are Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee and Delon Wright.
