Perry Farrell of the Detroit Free Press reports that Chauncey Billups is fitting in with his new team. After a career of moving from team to team and surviving through changes, Billups brought his long-term contract and his confidence into the Piston?s camp. All Billups has to do now is learn where Corliss Williamson, Cliff Robinson, Zeljko Rebraca, Jon Barry and Richard Hamilton like the ball.

It's tedious work, but so far all seem pleased with Billups' effort. "It has been a real good camp so far," Billups said. "Everybody's healthy still. Everybody came in shape, we're getting reps and working out some kinks in things, and everybody is getting familiar with one another right now.

"It's going to take some time for me, for one, to learn everybody and for everybody to learn how I like to play," Billups said. "Rip has to do the same thing, learn how everybody likes to play and everybody has to adjust to him, too. It's a process right now, but I couldn't be happier than I am right now."
