In the final week of the season, with very little for the Pistons to play for, it’s a good time to start thinking about postseason awards and how some of the Detroit players might fit in. There aren’t many categories where Pistons will be in consideration, but one intriguing one is the All-Rookie Team, where
In this week’s episode of Inside The Cylinder, Matt and I discuss the Pistons 119-100 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. While there wasn’t much to be excited about from an on-court perspective, this loss means Detroit is only two more Ls away from securing a bottom-two record for the 2020-21 season. We’ll take a look

The Detroit Pistons should have a decent shot at the No. 1 pick in next month’s NBA draft lottery. If they don’t get it, history tells us that’s just fine. Not that Cade Cunningham wouldn’t fit snugly onto the team’s roster. Not that Cunningham wouldn’t give the Pistons one of the best young cores in the league. It’s

That’s what happened on Tuesday, when the Detroit Pistons (20-50 overall) committed a season-high 28 turnovers — which were converted into 34 points — en route to a 119-100 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In one of the more consequential game for the Detroit Pistons’ long-term future in quite some time, the Minnesota Timberwolves won in a laugher, 119-100. The loss for the Pistons drops them to 20-50 and puts them at least one full game clear of the third-worst record in the league with only two games remaining.
From all appearances, the Pistons’ development plan had rookie Killian Hayes as the point guard of the future. They used the No. 7 overall pick to get Hayes and even through injury, he’s had the ball in his hands when he’s been on the court. Hayes showed another facet of his game, with a strong

Detroit Pistons fans are surprisingly optimistic, outside of some expected doom and gloom surrounding the upcoming NBA Draft Lottery.

In a season full of young Detroit Pistons turning in unexpectedly impressive performances, it finally seems like it is Sekou Doumbouya’s turn.
