Well, not everything. But this gives you a good idea of what Stan Van Gundy has in store for himself. The Detroit Pistons were not a good basketball team in 2013-14. New coach Stan Van Gundy is inheriting a squad that finished just 19th in offensive efficiency and 25th in defensive efficiency. This is a far cry from what Van Gundy is used to as he preaches smart shots and smart defense at all times....
