Pistons president Joe Dumars believes that the team got soft during the 2009-10 season.

Detroit finished 27-55, their worst record since 1994, and they missed the postseason for the first time since 2001.

"Any time you don't have the season you expect, there is going to be disappointment," Dumars said Tuesday. "This is the first time in a decade that we've had a season like this, and we learned a lot from the experience."

"We had some slippage in terms of the toughness and grit that we've had for the last 10 years," Dumars added. "We drifted some from what we were when we were successful."

Dumars said that the Pistons will look to use the seventh overall pick on a young big man.
