Pregame Reading
James Edwards III at The Athletic answered a TON of questions from fans in an AMA on the Detroit Pistons subreddit.
DBB’s own Matt Way wrote about the development Sekou Doumbouya has shown in his play in the last week or so – a really big deal for Sekou and the team as the season comes to a close.
ESPN’s number crunchers gave the Pistons the 26th brightest future in the NBA. Meh.
Yahoo’s Dan Wetzel wrote about the Pistons “Pulling off the ultimate tank job.” The tank job is not complete, obviously, but it’s always nice when the national media notices the same thing we do.
Enjoy the loss tonight, y’all.
