AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Andre Drummond grabs the rebound, stops, turns and momentarily freezes. For years, he had been used to the same routine: Pass the ball to a specific player, or turn to Stan Van Gundy to pick up the next play.
Now, there is none of that. For a second at a recent practice, Drummond thinks, "What the heck am I supposed to do here?"
The blueprint he has played with for so many years is changing. Dwane Casey, the reigning NBA coach of the year and first-year Detroit Pistons coach, is ensuring it, shifting from a stricter play-call offense to an uptempo, free-flowing offense in which everything has options.
