Stav Van Gundy warns Detroit Pistons players ahead of new campaign

Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy has admitted that all his players are on trial in pre-season as they bid to show him they are worthy of regular first-team action.

The Pistons finished 12th in the Eastern Conference last season with a 32-50 losing record, which included 23 defeats at home.

Van Gundy told the Detroit Press: "Here's the thing I've even said to our own players. When you go 32-50, nobody's got a spot locked in. I'm looking for whoever gives us the best chance to win."

The Pistons will learn their 2015-16 schedule later today.
