Jeff Bower to be Pistons GM under Stan Van Gundy

Detroit Pistons President and coach Stan Van Gundy appears to have settled on former New Orleans Hornets general manager Jeff Bower to run his front office.

The Pistons are working on an agreement with Bower, who would leave his head coaching position at Marist College if a deal is reached, two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed Monday. The people requested anonymity because of the deal isn't finalized.

Bower was GM for the Hornets (now the Pelicans) for seven seasons.
