The Detroit Pistons hosted their annual media day at Little Caesars Arena on Monday, just ahead of the team’s training camp. As always, there was no shortage of excitement surrounding the team leading up to and during media day, as players, staff, and fans are anxious to get the season underway.

Here are the five best quotes, in my opinion, from Pistons players and staff coming out of 2022 media day min no particular order.

Jaden Ivey on being with The Detroit Pistons

"“I want to be a Piston for life. It runs deep.”"

How often do you hear a rookie come out of the gate and immediately say that they’d like to be a part of the team that drafted them for their whole career? Hearing this has to add to the excitement that Jaden Ivey has already brought to Detroit, as well as adds some further context and authenticity to Ivey’s Detroit ties that were discussed throughout the draft and rest of the summer.

Knowing that your top-5 draft pick genuinely wants to play for your team and city, has to give Troy Weaver and Dwane Casey some satisfaction about the rookie guard before he has even played a NBA game.
