With $22 million in cap space, and the ability to create more by using the amnesty clause on Charlie Villanueva, Dumars plans to reinvent the Pistons as the kind of athletic, fast team that has worked so well in Miami and Oklahoma City, among other places. Caldwell-Pope, Siva and second-round pick Tony Mitchell (North Texas State) were all picked to help that process along.

“We need to get more athletic, we need to get faster, and we need shooters,” Dumars said. “All three of these young men help us in those three categories, at one level or another.”

Caldwell-Pope was considered one of the fastest guards in the draft, trailing only Miami’s Shane Larkin, and Mitchell might have been the best pure athlete. In fact, he has already built enough of a reputation to draw a challenge from the new face of the franchise.

“Andre Drummond already told me that he needed to know which one of us could jump higher,” said Mitchell. “We’re going to be figuring that out in a little while.”

Well, at least we didn't have to read how Tony was originally a Missouri signee, etc. We gave him his chance, Missouri did not.
