Everyone knows that Andre Drummond is painful to watch at the free throw line, so maybe expanding his game might be the best route for the Detroit Pistons. Andre Drummond might be one of the best centers in the NBA right now, but he can’t be the best if he doesn’t improve his free throw […] Adding a shooting touch could help Andre Drummond’s free throw shooting - PistonPowered...

Can Avery Bradley and Anthony Tolliver inspire their teammates to play at a higher level? There were two key differences between the up-and-coming Pistons team of 2015-16 and last year’s dumpster-fire-in-the-middle-of-a-train-wreck. One difference was Reggie Jackson’s health.

The move shows what the Pistons have in mind for the future, and that future does not include KCP. The team’s tight salary cap situation put the Pistons in a tough spot in regards to retaining Caldwell-Pope. Instead of tying up a bunch of money in a long-term deal with the fifth-year player the Pistons look to be trying to alleviate their cap woes for the future. I think it is...
