I answered a few questions for ClipperBlog, including

"How has Stan Van Gundy done since taking over at coach and president of basketball operations in Detroit over the summer?Dan Feldman, Piston Powered, (@DanFeldmanNBA): There has been a disappointing and understandable lack of urgency to do anything grand. Van Gundy has a five-year, $35 million contract, so he has time before he must shake up everything. He added a few decent free agents, didn’t trade Josh Smith and watched Greg Monroe sign the qualifying offer this summer. As coach, he’s implementing his offense slowly and giving Andre Drummond room to make mistakes. If Van Gundy is laying a foundation, it’s not resulting in much on-court success so far."
