The NBA Draft Lottery is dropping on Sunday, May 12. The Detroit Pistons, as has been their habit for several years, have the top odds of landing the No. 1 overall pick. They can also drop as low as the fifth overall selection. In fact, if you’re a fan of math, dropping to five is

Things have been quiet on the Detroit Pistons’ search for a new president of basketball operations. That is partially due to the designated search firm doing a lot of work behind the scenes and some of the prospective candidates for the role were still in the playoffs. The Milwaukee Bucks were unceremoniously eliminated in round

G League Ignite wing Matas Buzelis is a mesmerizing prospect in the 2024 NBA Draft class. Before his season with the Ignite, Buzelis was tabbed as a potential No. 1 pick across many mock drafts and big boards. His size, skillset and shooting ability coming out of high school and an extremely efficient senior season

The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery is now less than a week away. The Detroit Pistons have a lot on the line, holding the league’s worst record, top lottery odds and a guaranteed top-five pick. Top lottery odds don’t mean much any longer, as they only provide a 14% shot at the No. 1 overall pick.

The Detroit Pistons formally announced they would be hiring a president of basketball operations on April 15, but there have been scan updates since. Presumably, the team is working with its national search firm to identify an extensive list of candidates, and will eventually reach out to a select few for initial interviews. Now, there

The Detroit Pistons have an important draft ahead of them. After securing the league’s worst record, only the NBA’s highest honor, Detroit guaranteed themselves a top-five pick. No matter how the draft lottery plays out, the Pistons get to add a top talent or explore trading the pick to improve their roster immediately. With many

The Detroit Pistons were an embarrassment of a franchise in 2023-24. A do-nothing offseason after winning just 17 games, an NBA-record losing streak, a record-setting coaching contract for someone already on the chopping block, a franchise-record for losses, and stalled development for young players. This is the objective reality. And yet … and yet …

The 2024 NBA Draft is quickly approaching, and while it has been labeled weak by many in the draft community, I think that is only true insomuch as there is a lack of a clear No. 1 prospect who you might be able to build a team around. However, in many drafts, some great players

The Detroit Pistons have many needs to address this offseason. That’s putting it lightly. Nothing more necessary than who’s going to steer this ship forward as the franchise’s president of basketball operations. That new executive will have a draft to navigate at the end of June, however, where they can patch roster holes with shiny

It is clear that Cade Cunningham need help and that it is unclear if there are more than two or three players on the Detroit Pistons’ current roster capable of giving it to him. Maybe two or three years down the line, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, and Ausar Thompson put it all together and create

The best thing about this just-concluded season of Detroit Pistons basketball is that it seemed to get so bad that it forced change. There was no clinging to some long-term vision that hadn’t yet come to fruition, there was no scapegoating bad injury luck, and it got so bad that it doesn’t appear that even

The Detroit Pistons 2023-24 season is officially in the history books. It’s not the kind of history you’ll want to crack open anytime soon. For the fans, for the organization, and for the players, this is a season everyone will want to forget. If it’s remembered for anything, hopefully, it is the inflection point. A

General manager Troy Weaver has led the Detroit Pistons to two consecutive seasons with the league’s worst record, and his time might be running out. The Pistons plans to hire a new head of basketball operations and will begin the search this week, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. A new team president would sit

Against all odds, the Pistons won’t end the season on a losing streak. Detroit’s decimated squad stumbled into a win in Dallas over the Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic-less Mavericks, who are already locked into a first-round playoff matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Mavs could’ve kept their hopes alive to jump up to

If the Detroit Pistons really wanted to treat their fans to something special on Fan Appreciation Night, they should have let people in for free. After all, it’s not like the product on the court was worth the price of admission. With the Chicago Bulls, the most middling of middling teams in the NBA, in

I feel like I have been pretty negative in my previews for pretty much the whole season, which has probably gotten old at this point. But, the current state of this team has sapped any and all joy out of watching basketball. Players have regressed, the team is not playing competitive basketball for the whole
