Tyler Cook can flourish in Dwayne Casey’s offense

After years of obscurity at the center spot, the Detroit Pistons finally looking as if they figured out what to do with that position. The Andre Drummond trade brought significant cap space, but also a new approach to filling the center position. In place of an elite rebounder and role player who was paid and acted like a team’s superstar, the Pistons have a well-defined role already allowing more modestly paid bigs to flourish with veteran Mason Plumlee and rookie Isaiah Stewart (so far we can’t be sure if Jahlil Okafor will join them). Now, Troy Weaver is adding depth at the position by adding second-year big man Tyler Cook on a 10-day contract.
