The game of Cade Cunningham is both classic and something entirely his own. As the Pistons’ roster improves so do the possibilities for him. Cade Cunningham’s name rolls off the tongue like a Sunday morning comic strip your great-grandparents might have read, and there is something old about his game. Cunningham branches from the James

New York — Jaden Ivey put the pedal to the metal on several offensive possessions during his preseason debut Tuesday night against the New York Knicks. As a 20-year-old rookie, his speed is one of his main strengths, on both ends of the floor. There were occasions when Ivey beat his man to finish at
New York — Midway through the third quarter, New York Knicks forward Isaiah Hartenstein poked the ball away from a driving Cade Cunningham and the ball landed in RJ Barrett’s hands. The Knicks’ fast break was initiated and Barrett lobbed the ball to a floating Obi Toppin for a two-handed slam. Fans inside Madison Square
Now we start to enter the lottery! This class appears to have good depth already as you will see. Plenty of these incoming freshman and first-year draft eligible prospects in the lottery do have good upside to become more than just role players. As always, only time will tell if this becomes fact, but I
It’s unwise to read too deeply into a preseason performance, good or bad. The 2008 Lions, of course, won all four of their preseason games before going 0-16 during the regular season. Exhibition games are a tune-up — an opportunity for players to work off months of offseason rust, and for coaches to experiment with
New York — Pistons guard Hamidou Diallo did not play during Tuesday’s 117-96 loss due to a leg injury he suffered during practice this week. “A little leg injury, a little contusion I had in practice,” Diallo told The Detroit News after the game. “Nothing major, just maintenance. Making sure I’m ready to go when
New York — Three minutes into the first quarter, Pistons rookie Jaden Ivey walked the ball up the court and calmly stepped into a 3-pointer from the top of the key to score his first NBA points. It was a welcoming sight if you’re the Pistons, especially since Ivey’s strength lies in his athleticism and
New York — Preseason games typically don’t mean much, but for a young team like the Pistons with several new additions, they can be used as measuring sticks to gauge progress. After spending the first week of training camp playing against each other, the Pistons played their first exhibition game under the bright lights in
The Detroit Pistons learned a hard lesson during the 117-96 loss at the hands of the feisty New York Knicks. No matter all the new talent you bring in, the ways players have grown their games, and all the new schematic wrinkles you’re excited to introduce — nobody is going to give it to you.
After one preseason game, it’s safe to say the Detroit Pistons have a few things to work on. They trailed for all 48 minutes in their preseason debut against the New York Knicks, as mental errors led to a blowout 117-96 loss at Madison Square Garden. The Pistons turned the ball over 21 times, leading
For a team not expected to make the 2023 NBA playoffs, the Detroit Pistons are getting a lot of love from those in the league. Some general managers are enamored with Troy Weaver’s latest draft class and think the Pistons’ youngsters are the league’s best, according to an nba.com survey of the GMs. The Pistons
The Detroit Pistons begin NBA preseason tonight against the New York Knicks, but the first look we got at the young squad in Motown was Sunday during an open practice and scrimmage. I was in attendance at Little Caesars Arena and did my best to not overreact too much despite the palpable excitement in the

New York — Cade Cunningham is equipped with a couple of things he didn’t have around this time last year: health and a full NBA season under his belt. The Pistons’ second-year guard suffered an ankle injury during training camp last season and was forced to miss the entire preseason, along with the first five
Cade Cunningham is back, and he’s stronger than ever. The Detroit Pistons are back, and they have more athleticism on the roster than they’ve had in 20 years. Basketball is back and it should be a heck of a lot of fun. Detroit’s opponent for the first preseason game is the new-look New York Knicks

Preseason starts on Tuesday for the Detroit Pistons, who will face the New York Knicks on the road in a TNT/Bally Sports Detroit-televised game at 7 p.m. from Madison Square Garden. We should see the debuts of rookie lottery picks Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, both of whom have earned positive reviews from those around
Detroit — With their exhibition opener looming Tuesday against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, the Pistons aren’t letting the preseason deviate from their preparation mindset. Pistons coach Dwane Casey said the team’s approach is going to be the same as it has been throughout the first week of training camp and during
The Cleveland Cavaliers winning the Donovan Mitchell Sweepstakes, the Eastern Conference is tougher than ever, and it makes clear that the Detroit Pistons are likely selecting in the lottery for the 2023 NBA Draft.
