Friday's Pistons Links: DeAndre Jordan has empathy for Andre Drummond

Pistons' Stanley Johnson shares special bond with TNT’s Kenny Smith: It was shortly after midday at the Mendenhall Center on the UNLV campus, and Kenny Smith was in demand. As he walked through the lobby Tuesday, several well-wishers called out to acknowledge one of the most well-known NBA analysts. Smith was the gracious celebrity, but he was eager to get back to the waiting reporter to discuss one of his favorite topics: Pistons swingman Stanley Johnson. Over a brief period of time, Smith explained the depth of his affection for Johnson and his deceased mother, Karen Taylor. -- Detroit Free Press

DeAndre Jordan has empathy for Pistons' Andre Drummond: DeAndre Jordan roots for Goliath. The Los Angeles Clippers and Team USA center, one of the main victims of the rise of coaches ordering the intentional fouling of poor foul shooters, said his heart goes out to fellow big men – like Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond – when the parade to the free-throw line commences. “Anytime a big dude gets fouled and all that stuff, I want them to make it,” Jordan said today before the start of practice for Team USA." -- Detroit Free Press
