Last season the starting frontcourt trio of Andre Drummond, Josh Smith and Greg Monroe never meshed and as a result there were rumors that both Smith and Monroe were on the trade block. Stan Van Gundy is now in charge of the Detroit Pistons and for the first preseason game against the Chicago Bulls he started Smith at power forward and brought Monroe off the bench as the backup center. Monroe says he will accept any role he's given by Van Gundy.
