Tracy McGrady has been working out with conditioning coach Arnie Kander in hopes of coming to training camp in great shape.

"A lot of players have been in our gym, and that's good news," coach John Kuester said.

"They realize how important they are, and their making adjustments to make themselves better is very important for us. I'll tell you this, what Tracy has done so far is put in a tremendous amount of time with Arnie. I had a chance to watch him work out, and he was moving extremely well."

Detroit would be thrilled even if McGrady became half the player he was five years ago.

"One of the things that we see (in McGrady) is a player that had high potential at one time, and he is somebody that is working religiously with Arnie, and that's so important..." Kuester said.

"McGrady is somebody that can give us a high-risk, high-reward situation."
