During the team's first six seasons in Detroit, no PSL alumni managed to crack the Pistons' regular-season roster, but severral came close. These men, "Jumpin'" Johnny Kline (Northwestern/Northeastern), in 1957, and Fred Prime (Mumford), Ed "Stone" Stewart (Miller/Northeastern), and Kenny Nevels (Chadsey), in 1962, each participated in preseason camps.

I just left Atlanta recently and the people weren't feeling the Pistons. I had to come back to Detroit, so that I can be where the spirit of the Pistons lives. I had to come home to where the love is.
