Pistons guard Reggie Jackson will miss “best friend” Andre Drummond

The Detroit Pistons pulled off a trade earlier this week that changed the landscape of the team, sending longtime center Andre Drummond to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for the expiring deals of Brandon Knight, John Henson and a future second round draft selection.

Following the trade, his longtime teammate Reggie Jackson was clearly effected by the move, and he spoke to reporters

“He was my best friend on the team and it’s been like that for 5½ years. He acclimated me when I first got to Detroit and we built a great friendship and brotherhood,” Jackson told reporters following the trade.

“That’s my guy forever, so it was a tough day seeing he got traded to the Cavs but wishing him nothing but the best for him and his family.”

Of course, Jackson is now one of the team veterans, and he’s viewing as his job to take the younger players under his wing – much like Drummond did for Jackson when he arrived in the Motor City nearly six years ago.

“I’ve been here the longest so have to take these guys under my wings and try to teach them. Being here in OKC where it all started for me, I had great vets who gave so much to me,” Jackson said. “It’s been integral in my success in my career and I want to give these guys all the knowledge I have and help them spread their wings.”
