Unsurprisingly, those players are veteran Marcus Sasser, rookie draft picks Ron Holland and Bobi Klintman, and two-way player Daniss Jenkins.

Basketball is back. The Detroit Pistons are back. There is (another) new era in Detroit. Call me an absolute lick-spittle moron who never learns, but I’m excited.
