DETROIT — The Pistons and Jim Boeheim are connected in more ways than just the obvious.
Of course, Buddy Boeheim, a two-way guard for the Pistons and Motor City Cruise, is the youngest son of the longest-tenured coach in NCAA history and he played four seasons for his father at Syracuse from 2018-22.
Before his rapid rise through the NBA executive ranks, Pistons general manager Troy Weaver spent four seasons at Syracuse as an assistant under Boeheim.
