SVG’s plan to boost Pistons bench – mix a starter or two into their mix at all times

Stan Van Gundy has struck upon a plan to fix his second unit: disband it.

No, the Pistons won’t become five 48-minute ironmen even though Andre Drummond played all of Tuesday’s second half as they battled back from a 20-0 Indiana run over the first five minutes of the second quarter while the starters rested.

But there won’t be any such segments in near future games with five reserves occupying the floor together.

“We will try to tweak the rotation a little bit,” Van Gundy said after Thursday’s practice before the Pistons head out of town for six road games against Western Conference teams.
