What to Make of the Fred Vinson Hire w/Jack Kelly I The Pindown
Shooting guru Fred Vinson is joining the coaching staff in Detroit, but we still don’t know for certain who will sit in the head chair. Jack Kelly joins the show to break down what that hire may or may not indicate for the future of Monty Williams in Detroit. They also discuss which high upside wing is a better fit for the Pistons in this draft, Ron Holland or Cody Williams, and whether or not to be concerned about Tidjane Salaun’s vertical jump numbers. They all reminisce on former draft prospects that they missed on, and Jack asks the guys how free agency plans may impact the team’s draft strategy.
