Isaiah Livers is a very good shooter with projectable size at the NBA level. The new Detroit Pistons forward spent four years at the University of Michigan, where he built up an impressive track record as a shooter. During his four seasons, he was used in various offensive sets, and played alongside several future NBA

John Petty Jr. is a 6-foot-5.75, 186-pound guard coming out of the University of Alabama. He posted the following per game stats in his final collegiate season: 12.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.6 blocks 50.4% from two-point range, 37.0% from three, 73.4% from the Free Throw Line 55.6% True Shooting percentage, 10.9%

The Detroit Pistons’ offensive system is based on movement of both the ball and players, and requires having multiple playmakers. There is freedom within broadly-sketched schemes, and quick decisions are a must. That means even players at power forward need to know how to keep the ball moving, and that’s just the beginning. Casey’s request

The Detroit Pistons start their summer league on Sunday in Las Vegas against the Oklahoma City Thunder at 8:30 pm Eastern time on ESPN2. As the team starts putting the roster together, I wanted to start profiling the individual guys on the team who may be unfamiliar to many. Cade is the undisputed star of

While it might have seemed quiet, the Detroit Pistons had a very eventful draft. They, of course, walked away with the prize of the draft in Cade Cunningham, but also drafted three players in the second round (Isaiah Livers, Luka Garza, and Balsa Koprivica), and signed a priority undrafted free agent to a two-way contract

The Detroit Pistons announced their schedule and roster for Las Vegas Summer League, which kicks off Sunday. The Pistons will play the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, New York Knicks and LA Lakers plus one additional game during their five-game run in Summer League. The Pistons also released their official roster, with many names already

Despite being listed at 7-foot-1 and weighing in at 240 pounds, I am guessing Florida State center Balsa Koprivica was a surprise pick on draft night for many. He has an NBA body, but not many prognosticators believed he had an NBA game. In taking a closer look at his game, in many ways he

On this episode of the Motor City Hoops Podcast (Motor City Hoops), I was joined by one of my favorite guests, CJ Marchessani, from The Stepien and RollCallSports. CJ is one of the best NBA, NBA Draft and all around basketball content creators on Twitter, and if you’re not following him, please correct that oversight.

He might not be a first-round pick like his three draftmates, but Saben Lee more than showed he could be a part of the future for the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons agreed, and reached a deal to bring Lee back on a three-year deal. The deal was first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN and

The young players of the Detroit Pistons will have a busy summer. The pandemic took away important development opportunities last season — including the Summer League and the G League season. Soon, they will have an opportunity to make up for lost time, and show the coaches and the fans what they can do on

No, it’s not teal, but the Detroit Pistons are looking to update and modernize their look on the floor next season with a series of new court designs at Little Caesars Arena. The renders were made available in NBA2K21 and tweeted out by the team’s official account on Tuesday. The new design takes a minimalist

In complete transparency, if you would have asked me at the start of the day on Monday what big man I would have liked to see the Pistons sign, I would have said Nerlens Noel. Heck, even recording a podcast later that evening, before really getting into my breakdown I was still saying Noel. But

The report comes courtesy of Yahoo’s Chris Haynes: (Trey Lyles not only gets to be with Klutch, he gets Rich Paul instead of one of their other guys? Dang.) The Detroit Pistons add more shooting from their big men positions (hopefully?) with the addition of Trey Lyles – a running theme of their acquisitions so

Cory Joseph is returning to the Detroit Pistons on a reduced deal that will see him serve as a point guard to help guide and mentor young ball handlers for the next two seasons. Joseph and the Pistons came to an agreement on a two-year $10 million deal, according to media reports. Chris Haynes of

The Detroit Pistons have come to an agreement with free agent big man Kelly Olynyk on a three-year deal for $37 million, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The Pistons were in the market for a big man after trading incumbent starter Mason Plumlee during the NBA Draft. The price tag is steep for Olynyk,

It is Day 1 of (legal) Free Agency in the NBA, and the Pistons have been rumored to be interested in a lot of guys, and there could be other moves that shake up the conference. Despite the relative weakness of the free agency class, free agency season never fails to get the blood pumping

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about Cade Cunningham officially becoming a Piston, the roster shakeups the team made on draft night and after the draft, the prospects the Pistons picked up in the second

Other than taking Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 overall pick, the Detroit Pistons worked on draft night in a quiet or maybe even quietly disappointing fashion. Yes, they drafted a franchise player with their No. 1 overall pick, but then not only did the Pistons not aggressively trade up in the draft, as they

You might get waived, but in Detroit, you’re never truly gone. Such is the case with two players who were recently let go by the Pistons, and one could have the potential to significantly impact the team’s play and rotation next season. After seeing his $12.6 million option declined, word is Cory Joseph is expected

Now that the 2021 NBA Draft has passed, and we’re about to learn whatever free agency has to offer, we have “officially” added Cade Cunningham to the roster and moved on from Mason Plumlee (admittedly, in a fashion most of us did not see coming), I thought it would be fun to look at possible
