The Detroit Pistons’ offensive system is based on movement of both the ball and players, and requires having multiple playmakers. There is freedom within broadly-sketched schemes, and quick decisions are a must. That means even players at power forward need to know how to keep the ball moving, and that’s just the beginning.
Casey’s request of his forwards is simple: be able to shoot, play off the dribble, score on all three levels, be able to post up, create for others, move without the ball, run in transition– in a word: everything. Casey developed one such forward during his Raptors tenure in Pascal Siakam.
