Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Danuel House (against an admittedly dreadful Pistons team) looks like a really nice compliment to Royce O’Neale as a transition defender with a knack for getting in passing lanes.
You see the value of having a few of those guys on the team. – 7:39 PM

Hassan Whiteside is a lot more engaged tonight defensively – 7:38 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Trey Lyles has either gotten a lot better or he’s found his NBA calling as a stretch five. Maybe both – 7:37 PM

Trey Lyles is hooping in the Barcelona Kobe 6s and I’m beyond jealous. – 7:37 PM

Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Really got the full Hassan Whiteside experience in that quarter.
Got blocked twice in the opening 90 seconds, gave up an egregious dunk to the Pistons off his own turnover, and finished with 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks in 9 minutes with two legit highlight reel dunks. – 7:36 PM

This might be the worst crowd of the season for the Pistons. It being 13 degrees on a Monday probably has something to do with it – 7:31 PM

Say what you will about Trey Lyles, the dude’s physical balance has lived up to the pre-draft hype. – 7:31 PM

Jazz are off to a fast start with a 13-2 lead over the Pistons. Utah’s 4-9 FGs, 2-4 from 3. Detroit 1-7, 0-2. Don has a quick 6, and Quin particularly liked him firing away on that last 3 after the O-reb. – 7:16 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Jazz 13, Pistons 2 with 8:24 to play. Detroit has missed six of its first seven shots. Unideal – 7:16 PM

Tonight’s @HenryFordNews injury/status update against the visiting Utah Jazz: pic.twitter.com/cSf62k4yZX5:45 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz
Quin Snyder, on what stood out about the Jazz defensively upon reviewing the Pacers film: “There was a guy named Rudy Gobert not out there. I didn’t want to mention that after the game, ’cuz it sounds like an excuse. But it’s clear he makes an impact.” – 5:36 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Kalamian said playing power forward has been beneficial for Saddiq Bey. “He’s really strung together a nice performance over a short period of time here. Not only is he scoring but he’s rebounding and defending and doing a lot of little things that helps our team.” – 5:22 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Kalamian said Cade Cunningham is getting blitzed almost every game, and it’s a learning process for him. “This is a good chance for him to understand what’s open when he gets double-teamed, how to get the ball out in a timely manner.” – 5:21 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Rex Kalamian on Bol Bol: “I’m excited.” – 5:18 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Kalamian said he coached Rodney McGruder in OKC and with the Clippers before rejoining in Detroit. “He is the ultimate professional. Just a classy guy, hard worker, a team-first person and a great individual. We’re certainly going to miss him, his spirit, his positive energy.” – 5:18 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Rex Kalamian on Bol Bol-McGruder trade: Starts with McGruder, who he has coached three times. “He’s the ultimate professional. Classy guy. Team-first guy. We’re certainly going to miss his positivity and spirit.” – 5:18 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons acting coach Rex Kalamian on Rodney McGruder: “This is the third time I’ve coached his (OKC, LAC and DET) and he is the ultimate professional. Just a classy guy, hard worker and team-first person, and a great individual.” – 5:18 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
On a day with so many things going on, why aren’t we discussing the Nuggets sending Bill Bol to the Pistons? – 5:14 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Bol Bol (Not With Team) is out tonight. My guess is still that we won’t see him with the team until Friday – 5:13 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
As expected, Bol Bol is OUT tonight. Have no idea if he’ll play tomorrow in Chicago. Might find out soon during pregame. – 5:12 PM

#Pistons announce trade to acquire Bol Bol from the Denver Nuggets for Rodney McGruder and a draft pick. – 4:01 PM
Detroit Pistons @DetroitPistons
#Pistons add 7’2″ @Bol Bol in a deal too good to pass up. Bol’s shooting touch and ball skills are rare for a big man, let alone a 7’2″ big man with a 7’7″ wingspan and corresponding shot-blocking potential.
