Tayshaun Prince was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 2002. He went on to win a team championship with the Pistons. He played with team until 2013 when he was traded off to the Memphis Grizzlies. But his performance hasn't been as good ever since he left the Pistons.

Rumors of the Grizzlies considering a potential trade off for Prince were doing the rounds.

"His( Prince's) name was rumored to be on the block at the very beginning of the offseason, but there have been no rumblings for the veteran forward since," according to Fansided.com.

But Prince has been trying to ace his game.

"Last year, I was just in the position of spacing the floor. I've never done stuff like that, so I want to get back to ball handling and creating and making plays. If I can get back to those things, it'll open up more opportunities for me, as opposed to just spacing the floor," Prince was quoted by SBNation.com.

"I just have to be more of an offensive threat on the floor. I can't be an offensive threat just spacing out and waiting for jump shots. That's not really what I've done in this league before. I just want to be more creative," he added.
