I have seen Cassius Winston talk about his love for his local Detroit Pistons team over the years, and his affinity for Chauncey Billups in particular. Now an NBA player with the Washington Wizards, Cassius gets the chance to play against his favorite team, and that happened for the first time on Thursday night when the Pistons faced the Wizards.

Before the game, Pistons head coach Dwane Casey was asked about the young point guard. Casey, I am sure, has had plenty of time to watch Cassius play as he starred for Michigan State down the road, and had a lot of great things to say about the Spartan legend.
