What are our Pistons Doing- OFFSEASON 

Post#1 » by Blkbrd671 » Tue Aug 20, 2013 3:15 am

Whatup guys,

Since its the offseason and we are starving for Piston news, i wanted to start a thread to track our players. Tweets, training, IG photo's, and rumors.

If you guys don't know, Andre Drummond has a Instagram "Andredrummond0", he's a daily poster, puts videos. A while back he posted videos of him dunking on little kids in the trampoline warehouse. Recently its been him and his posse goofing off , playing golf etc. Most recently he made a surprise visit to the Pistons Children's Camp. Kentavious also has one and Siva's is pretty interesting too. Charlie V's is probably the best because he post nothing but pics of his wife wearing clothes that wouldn't fit a 2 year old.


Also does anybody know when the boys start training camp or practices, or the rules governing that?

I wouldn't be surprised if the guys organize a get together before camp starts like in previous years. This year would make the most sense given all the new faces.

Also i second folloeing CV on instagram, his girl is pretty nice. :P

CV31 blocked me on Twitter a couple years ago when I politely asked him to practice rather than take so many naps. :/

But seriously, I really enjoyed the article on Pistons.com about Dre and Sheed. I'm glad they're connecting early in the summer. Like the rest, I also have very high hopes for Andre moving forward.

“I’ve picked up a lot of different tricks just being with him,” Drummond said. “We’re not doing anything drastic as of yet. Right now, he’s just telling me he’s going to keep it simple since it’s so early but at the end of the season you’ll see something a lot different than at the beginning. He’s said, ‘You’re one of the fastest bigs I’ve ever seen and your feet are really good, light on your feet, and you move really well, so the moves I show you, you should do 10 times faster than I did.’ So I’m excited for what’s coming.”

Word is...some dude named Mike Taylor slapped Brandon Jennings at the Drew League. Not really news. When you play street ball and talk trash, you get into altercations. I expect this to be blown out of proportion when the video leaks.

Thats the nickname of Earl "The Pearl" Monroe.


Kind of interesting nickname: If he plays great this yr he could be the teams savior. Of course if he doesnt work out he will be crucified.

Great article on the Pistons' site about Drummond bringing in the rookies early to workout and prepare for camp. That article was preceded by a great article talking about Drummond's Sheed-induced lessons and workouts.

Loved seeing Jennings come out of that Drew League incident without a Matt Barnes or Michael Beasley like embarassing moment. I'm glad to see the guy competing and working on his skills and connecting with the community in the summer league competitions. I used to love seeing the pros come to Baltimore to ball with us in the summer.

Good to see Jerebko in "the D" working out and prepping for the year. I hope to see him contribute after falling off the map after his rookie year.

Gigi is competing overseas.

What's Stuckey, J-Smoove, and Charlie V doing?
