Curtis Jerrells will be the third point for the Pistons when training camp opens next month.

Jerrells, who played at Baylor, signed a non-guaranteed contract with Detroit this summer. If he plays well, he'll have a chance to make the team's Opening Night roster.

However, Pistons coach John Kuester is confident in Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum. In addition, he believes that Ben Gordon, Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince can help initiate the team's offense.

Detroit has two roster spots open, but president Joe Dumars likes to leave one spot open for flexibility during the season.

Ben Gordon's playoff performance helped him secure a lucrative free agent deal from the Detroit Pistons.

"He was a guy we always had our eyes on, so that never changed," said Joe Dumars.  "Watching him perform in the playoffs only solidified what we felt all along. In terms of ending up somewhere else, what didn?t change was the amount of teams that had cap space. That never changed. We felt like if he was going to make a decision to leave Chicago that we were positioned to be the team. That?s with all due respect to the other teams that had money. We just felt like we were the team that had a better shot at him.

John Kuester spent fifteen seasons as an assistant in the NBA before he finally got a head coaching job.

Kuester, who was named the head coach of the Pistons this summer, spent time with six different teams.

"I was always comfortable with what I was doing," Kuester told the Boston Globe. "I would have been fine continuing to be an assistant coach. It's a great life. You meet great people. But did I want to someday be a head coach? Absolutely."

The Pistons are undergoing a transition, but Kuester feels lucky to be in such a positive situation.

"I just keep thinking, 'How lucky am I?' " said Kuester. "I feel blessed to be in this situation, in a great environment, with a great organization that wants to compete for a championship. The Pistons are one of the premier organizations in the league. They're accustomed to winning."

The Pistons are unlikely to sign a third point guard prior to the start of the upcoming season.

Rodney Stuckey will start, with Will Bynum coming off the bench. The Pistons appear comfortable using newly-acquired guard Ben Gordon as a third option at the position when needed.

In a recent interview with Dime Magazine, Gordon insisted that he's more than just a shooter.

"In Chicago, scoring was what I was asked to do," Gordon told Dime. "But I can do a lot more -- I can make treys, I can pass, I can create. There's a lot to my game that people haven't seen, or seen enough of. I think in Detroit, I'll be able to do more than just score."

Larry Brown has spoken about out Allen Iverson, but the guard's most recent employer hasn't been asked for a reference.

"Not one," a Pistons front-office source told Yahoo! Sports.

Adrian Wojnarowski writes that no calls have been made to Detroit because Iverson's behavior isn't a secret around the league.

"When he went to Detroit and showed that he couldn't really fit into a team setup, it sent out a 'buyer beware' signal to everyone," one NBA general manager said.

Ben Wallace was very close to retirement before he decided to rejoin the Pistons.

Wallace struggled in three seasons away from Detroit, where he won an NBA title in 2004 and made another trip to the NBA Finals in 2005.

Good memories and encouragement from Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince helped him decide to come back, according to the Associated Press.

The Pistons have added veteran Brian Hill to their coaching staff.

Detroit announced on Monday that they have hired Hill to work as an assistant under rookie head coach John Kuester, according to the Associated Press.

Deron Washington, drafted by Detroit in the second round of the 2008 NBA draft, signed a two-year deal with the Pistons on Monday.

The first year is partially guaranteed, although the Pistons anticipate he'll be with the club long enough to where it becomes fully guaranteed. The second year is a team option.

Ben Wallace re-signed with the Pistons last week, and Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald believes that the former Defensive Player of the Year never wanted to leave Detroit.

McGraw believes that Wallace was convinced by relatives to leave the Pistons for a bigger payday in the summer of 2006.

Jeremy Pargo of Gonzaga will replace Brian Roberts in Galil/Gilboa in Israel. Pargo wasn't drafted, but averaged 10.0 points for the Pistons in Las Vegas.

He also worked out with Orlando Magic, but decided to take his chances abroad.
