Brandon Jennings is excited to be in Detroit and has vowed to change his game. When introduced by the Pistons he said, “I guess you could say we’re going to bring Lob City to Detroit next year.” Let’s keep in mind that he also said, “the Bucks in 6” last season. Hey, nothing wrong with having hopes! Lol.

Brandon Jennings can hardly wait to take the court alongside Detroit’s athletic big men.
“I guess you can say we can bring the ‘Lob City’ to Detroit this year,” Jennings said.
That’s quite a boast, considering the Pistons have missed the playoffs for four straight seasons, but if there was one thing Jennings tried to make clear Tuesday, it was that he will absolutely look to pass the ball a bit more than he did in Milwaukee. Detroit acquired Jennings from the Bucks last week, hoping the new point guard can be an important part of an extensive offseason overhaul.
The Pistons also signed forward Josh Smith and guard Chauncey Billups. They traded guard Brandon Knight in the deal for Jennings.
It was a flurry of moves that, at the very least, has people around Detroit talking about the Pistons again. How it will look on the court is anyone’s guess — and Jennings’ job will be to help this group become a cohesive unit.
“This year I think you’re going to see a whole different player, just with all the talent that I have around me, the veterans that are in the locker room,” Jennings said. “Now I can just actually be myself and be who I was five years ago, when I was in high school, playing AAU basketball.”
