Introducing the Pistons' 2011 draft class of Brandon Knight, Kyle Singler and Vernon Macklin, Dumars continued to praise the group's worth ethic and character. "We've always been successful here with high-character guys," Dumars said. "When we've been at our best, it's because we knew we were putting guys on the floor who would give there all and do things the right way. We all know we had some slippage in that department over the last year or two. This is a direct effort to reaffirm who we've been and why we have these banners in this building." Booth Newspapers
