Because of his offensive skills, the Pistons could give Austin Daye a try at shooting guard this season.

Daye would create matchup problems at the position due to his 6-foot-11 height. He spent some time at the position while playing for Detroit's Summer League team in Las Vegas.

"His biggest (problem) is if he's guarding guys coming off screens and guys who can really move without the ball, and also guys who have the ability to put the ball on the floor who are super quick with the ball," assistant coach Pat Sullivan said. "Obviously, that's what most of our 2's do in this league. I think AD is getting better at that kind of stuff. He really can use his length. I think he understands his body. He's very deceptive. You feel like you have space on him or have a lead on him to get your shot off, but with his length he can alter shots and he can block shots. I really see his improvement from last summer to this summer.

"I think the biggest challenge for him is defensively. ... Defensively, he has to continue to get better and with his maturity. If he makes a mistake... he has to say, 'Hey, I made a mistake' and go onto the next play."
