Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode Ben Gulker and I are joined by Sean Murphy of Woodward Pistons to talk about the results of the 2022 NBA Draft. We give our thoughts on the selection of Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, and break down how that

The Detroit Pistons added plenty of athleticism in the NBA Draft in Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren. The one thing they didn’t add is shooting, and it’s a definite need of the Detroit Pistons after finishing last season 29th in 3-point percentage. Malik Monk, 3-point specialist most recently of the Los Angeles Lakers, could be

As the player empowerment era continues to rise across the league, player movement, even among the youngest stars, has never seemed more possible. There has never been more player movement in the NBA. Detroit fans only have to look in their own backyard, as the Detroit Pistons brass have completely overhauled the roster in a

Troy Weaver was explicit about what the immediate future held: “No skipping steps.” Following Thursday night’s successful draft, where the Detroit Pistons selected Jaden Ivey and traded for the rights to Jalen Duren, it appears the Detroit front office has shifted its focus away from Phoenix Suns big-man, Deandre Ayton. Immediately following the draft, we

Oh, how quickly the Jerami Grant trade narrative changed. Wednesday night when it broke that Grant had been traded to the Blazers for a 2025 1st, a move up in the 2nd round, and a couple of future 2nds, I think it left the entire fanbase hoping that there was going to be an ensuing

The NBA Draft could not have realistically fallen any better for Troy Weaver and the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons fell two spots to No. 5 on lottery night, and that looked like a big blow considering the draft featured a consensus big three and Detroit was desperate for high-end talent to pair with Cade Cunningham.

The Detroit Pistons got two of the players near the top of their NBA Draft board Thursday in electric guard Jaden Ivey and athletic big man Jalen Duren. While introducing the two young men and talking about their excitement for the upcoming season, they also took time to look back and celebrate the deep roots

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’ve got something a little different for you: the audio of the 2022 DBB NBA Draft Livestream! Bryce Simon, Steve Pelletier, Brady Fredericksen, Sean Corp, Jack Kelly, and myself talked for hours about the Pistons’ night, and we’ve condensed down

The Detroit Pistons, true to the words of GM Troy Weaver, attacked the the NBA Draft and ended the night with two lottery picks in Jaden Ivey (No. 5) and Jalen Duren (No. 13), as well as second-rounder Gabriele Procida (No. 36). The Pistons were able to accomplish this with a mix of aggression and

When news of the trade of Jerami Grant broke, resulting in the Detroit Pistons creating an additional $20 million in cap space, everybody’s focus shifted to free agency and the franchise’s supposed interest in Phoenix Suns’ restricted free agent DeAndre Ayton. The fit made sense as the Pistons are looking for more beef up front

The Pistons Pulse is brought to you by The Detroit Free Press and is co hosted by Bryce Simon of MotorCityHoops and Omari Sankofa II, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press. Omari and Bryce stay up late Thursday night after the conclusion of the NBA Draft to bring you their instant recap

Troy Weaver is eternally unphased. He’s never agitated, he never rushes through an answer, and you can tell while he’s responding to your question about what just happened, he’s thinking about the things that are going to happen after several more dominoes fall. The man has a vision — he calls it his process —

The Detroit Pistons continued a string of selecting athletes in the 2022 NBA Draft into the second round with the pick of Italian forward Gabriele Procida out of Fortitudo Bologno. Because I don’t much about Procida, I’ll outsource this to John Hollinger of The Athletic, who listed Procida at No. 33 on his big board.

The Detroit Pistons agreed to a two-way contract with undrafted guard Buddy Boeheim, son of Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. Boeheim played four years for his father at Syracuse, and averaged 19.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists his senior season. He stands 6-foot-6 tall, he’s got good size for a

There was a lot of heartburn when the Detroit Pistons traded Jerami Grant for a future first round pick, especially when rumors swirled that Grant might net the team a mid lottery pick in the 2022 NBA draft. In fact, the Grant trade left most of us scratching our heads and grasping for something positive

Detroit Pistons Troy Weaver said he was going to be aggressive this offseason, and he was true to his word. He sent Jerami Grant to the Portland Trail Blazers the day before the draft, and he used a pick secured in that trade to trade back into tonight’s NBA Draft lottery to draft coveted big

The Detroit Pistons found their backcourt mate for Cade Cunningham, selecting Jaden Ivey the explosive guard out of Purdue with the fifth pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Ivey has been a polarizing prospect throughout the draft cycle, with several respected evaluators calling him one of the top-3 talents in the entire draft and others

The Detroit Pistons and the Charlotte Hornets could become trade partners centered on a deal for Gordon Hayward and one of Charlotte’s draft night picks, according to ESPN. In his latest mock draft, Johnathan Givony notes that the Pistons and Hornets could reach a deal, especially if Jalen Duren falls to one of Charlotte’s picks

Now that the Detroit Pistons have moved up from No. 46 to pick No. 36 in tonight’s NBA Draft, I am sure many of you are not giving it a moment’s thought. A second-round pick is a second-round pick, after all. But, this is a bigger deal than many realize. For one, the success rate

He’s a player with a pedigree of success. The analytics rave about him, and the coaches who see his demeanor and work ethic aren’t far behind. He could be the “safest” pick in the entire draft class. And somehow that last thing is held against him. The year is 2020, and we are, of course,
