Maurice Cheeks is reportedly on the Pistons' radar in their search for a new head coach.

It's not clear if, how or when Cheeks' name popped up on Detroit's list, but he's another candidate we can throw into the ring. Other known candidates include Nate McMillan, Lindsey Hunter, Mike Budenholzer, J.B. Bickerstaff, Brian Shaw and Darrell Walker.

Contrary to a previous report, Nate McMillan is still believed to be the frontrunner for the Pistons head coaching vacancy.

There are conflicting reports, but McMillan has been mentioned as the frontrunner for some time and we doubt that's changed after a few interviews. It's entirely possible the Pistons don't hire McMillan, but it appears there is still strong interest in the former head coach.

Sources tell Yahoo that the Pistons have interviewed Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer for their head coaching vacancy.

Budenholzer is the top assistant to Gregg Popovich and has been with him for 16 years, which means he has instant credibility. The Pistons have already talked to Nate McMillan and are expected to meet with Kelvin Sampson. Phil Jackson, a personal friend of Pistons owner Tom Gores, is serving as a consultant on the coaching search.

Phil Jackson has agreed to serve in an advisory capacity in the franchise’s search for a head coach.

"Phil Jackson is a friend and one of the best minds in the business," Pistons owner Tom Gores said. "We are thrilled to have him as an adviser as we make some very important decisions for this franchise. Joe [Dumars] and I discussed this and he and I are in full agreement that this is a great opportunity." To be clear, this is not a formal position with the club and the Pistons are justifiably just seeking some input from one of the best minds in NBA history.

Knicks assistant coach Darrell Walker is a candidate for the Pistons head coaching vacancy.

He was a Pistons assistant from 2008-11, so he got a little taste of Greg Monroe. Monroe has progressed nicely and he has one of the best low-post games in the NBA, leading the league in shots from within five feet this season. The Pistons have some good young talent, but they have a long way to go.
