The Detroit Pistons need talent. They need a scorer who can play off the ball and complement Cade Cunningham. They need a versatile, athletic player with length who can create his own shot, convert 3-pointers and also plays great defense. So we’re all agreed. With the No. 5 pick in the 2022 NBA draft, the
By Dan Woike, Broderick Turner | Los Angeles Times Los Angeles — The job, as much as it is anything else, requires a coach to stand next to LeBron James, a player who has been one of basketball’s most famous since he was in high school, and forge a partnership. So, naturally, the Lakers went and hired Darvin
Strapped in a wheelchair, Spencer Heslop zipped around the basketball court, hitting the corners hard. His movement was so quick, so athletic, so smooth and so natural — it was mesmerizing. It was just a simple warmup, as he zoomed around a court at the North Campus Recreation Building at the University of Michigan, but
The Los Angeles Lakers have found their man. The Lakers have agreed to a four-year deal with former Milwaukee Bucks assistant Darvin Ham to be their next head coach, two people with knowledge of the agreement told USA TODAY Sports, concluding a nearly two-month search after the organization parted ways with Frank Vogel after failing to make the playoffs, or even the
We’re more than a week removed from the NBA draft combine, and less than a month away from June 23’s draft. This is shaping up to be a busy offseason for the Detroit Pistons, who have the fifth overall pick, significant cap space and a desire to make a leap next season. With that in

Now that we know the Pistons will be selecting fifth overall and we have a list of early entrants (many of whom are going through the combine as I write this), it’s time to revisit the Big Board. There are a few additions to this most recent version, as guys like Caleb Love and Jaime
The Detroit Pistons will be in an interesting position on draft night. With the fifth overall pick, they’ll likely be out of contention for the three most highly regarded prospects — Paolo Banchero, Jabari Smith Jr. and Chet Holmgren. But this year’s draft isn’t as certain as the 2021 draft, which had Cade Cunningham go No. 1
With the NBA Draft now less than a month away, the only certainty seems to be that there’s no consensus, from top to bottom. Last week’s NBA Draft Lottery laid out the draft order, but now the teams have to figure out where all the puzzling prospects fit, starting with the Orlando Magic, who sound
Let Twitter tell it, Detroit Pistons fans want Jaden Ivey. Ivey, an explosive guard out of Purdue, was the most popular option in a social media poll gauging who fans wanted the Pistons to take with the No. 5 pick in the 2022 NBA draft. He won 46.3% of the 397 votes from Monday to Tuesday, compared
