Jalen Duren, the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, will be the youngest player in the NBA this season. Marvin Bagley III’s bone bruise and sprained MCL means that Duren will see rotation minutes almost immediately, despite that fact. Troy Weaver kept telling us that Duren was more ready than we thought. And

Much like the slow start to his rookie season caused some concern in the Detroit Pistons fanbase, Cade Cunningha’s poor showing in preseason has raised some eyebrows. Last season’s slow start could mostly be attributed to an ankle injury suffered by Cunningham to go along with the typical rookie struggles of adjusting to the speed

There’s little doubt that the New York Knicks shipped Alec Burks to the Detroit Pistons as part of a salary dump. And Detroit may be the seventh stop in what will be Burks’ 12th season. But don’t be fooled — Burks is a proven combo guard who can bring a calming presence to a young

The NBA season is finally officially back. The Detroit Pistons don’t tip off until Wednesday night, with the two reigning No. 1 overall picks, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham and the Orlando Magic’s Paolo Banchero facing off. Tonight, though, we get a TNT double-header featuring the Boston Celtics taking on the Philadelphia 76ers and the Golden State

The abundance of five-men in Detroit Pistons uniforms has been a source for confusion amongst fans and media since early July, when the Pistons made several maneuvers leading to acquiring big men Nerlens Noel and Jalen Duren on NBA Draft night. When Troy Weaver was hired, he made a series of trades involving big men,

I know I was one of many people scratching their heads when the Detroit Pistons took Isaiah Stewart with the 16th pick in the 2020 draft. The ground-bound center out of Washington was undersized, had athletic limitations, and didn’t have much stretch to his game. All of those elements are a recipe for a career

The trade for Bojan Bogdanovic felt like the Detroit Pistons were playing with house money. Detroit’s weakest position was on the wing at the starting power forward spot after losing Jerami Grant in a trade during the offseason. The team was in desperate need of replacing the veteran Grant with another adult in the room

There’s no question Marvin Bagley exceeded expectations upon his trade to the Detroit Pistons in February. The once highly touted big man left behind the pressures of being a high draft selection in Sacramento and entered Detroit with a fresh slate. In only 18 games, Bagley posted averages of 14.6 points and 6.8 boards in

In an NBA obsessed with tall, perimeter-based wing players, the 6-foot-9 Kevin Knox finds himself suiting up for the third franchise in less than 12 months. Knox’s career to date is one of tantalizing potential that has thus far gone unrealized. Taken with the ninth selection in the 2018 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks

It was just another season of productive basketball for Cory Joseph. While Detroit Pistons fans are always anxious to write him off in favor of the team’s next, shiniest object, Joseph just hangs out in the background waiting for his opportunity. Because once you give it to him, he’s going to take advantage of it.

Last season, Hamidou Diallo experienced a season full of highs and lows. Perhaps there were more lows than highs, but at the pinnacle, you could see why some in the Detroit Pistons organization viewed Diallo as a potentially significant piece to the future.
