Al (Wolverine Lake, Mich.: Hey, Keith, I heard today on the radio that Chucky Atkins will be coming to camp as the No. 3 point guard. Any truth to that?

Langlois: Nothing official on that, Al. Chucky hasn’t signed a contract – yet – but don’t be surprised if he’s there Monday when the team reports for Media Day and Tuesday when camp opens. It’s still going to be a make-good contract with no guarantee that he (or another point guard, or Maceo Baston, in camp on a non-guaranteed deal) will stick on the regular-season roster. If it comes to pass that Atkins signs, then it’s ironic that both he and Ben Wallace are coming back to the Pistons in the same season – it was Atkins and Wallace who helped kick-start the Pistons back to respectability when Joe Dumars negotiated the sign-and-trade deal with Orlando for Grant Hill.
