The trade deadline dust has settled, and the Detroit Pistons came out on the other side with one new face on the roster. Marvin Bagley III, the second pick of the 2018 NBA draft, has a chance to rescue his career in Detroit after backsliding with the Sacramento Kings. Bagley, understandably, has dominated Pistons discussion
Marvin Bagley III needed a fresh start. With the Sacramento Kings, Bagley did not live up to his 2018 draft position, going No. 2 ahead of Luka Doncic, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Trae Young. Numerous injuries held him to 13 games played during his sophomore season and 43 games last season. He struggled to find traction in
Washington, D.C. — The Pistons have 26 games left in the season, but with a 12-44 record, it’s not time to fold up the tent and start thinking about tropical island vacations.

Cade Cunningham has shown, in various spurts this season, that he can live up to the lofty expectations that were set when the Detroit Pistons drafted him No. 1 overall in July. He already has a highlight reel of clutch buckets, and the team has performed substantially better with him on the floor than on
