While four teams compete to win the 2021 NBA Championship, the Pistons won something of their own this month,

Fresh off of being named NBA All-Rookie selections, Detroit Pistons Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart were two of the 17 players named to the 2021 USA Basketball Select Team, USA Basketball announced. The team will train with fellow Piston Jerami Grant and the rest of the Men’s National Team as it prepares to compete in

Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) talked to Sean Derenthal (@odetooden) about Cade Cunnigham’s game and why he’s the top prospect in the 2021 NBA Draft. That, in turn, became a discussion about position-less initiators, the value of posting up in 2021, what 20 minutes on YouTube gets you, Paul George, spending most of your time not defending

The Detroit Pistons are big fans of Jalen Green, as many outlets have previously reported. Does that mean that the Pistons could potentially pass up Cade Cunningham by either selecting Green at No. 1 or trading down and getting him elsewhere? It is impossible to get anyone associated with the Pistons on the record so

The Detroit Pistons are on the clock, and they have the privilege and the pressure of finding and selecting the best player in the 2021 NBA Draft. The consensus No. 1 pick is Cade Cunningham, but the top three of the draft seems particularly strong with Jalen Green and Evan Mobley all having particular cases

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your #1 overall pick-having Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I run through our immediate emotions after winning the lottery, Cade Cunningham’s star potential, Jerami Grant playing in the Olympics, and more. As always, we appreciate your continued

On Tuesday, everyone’s favourite deputy commissioner Mark Tatum sent shockwaves through the NBA when he revealed that the Detroit Pistons, yes you read that right, won the NBA Draft Lottery. With that, the Pistons also presumably have the chance to add Cade Cunningham. As an appetiser, let’s look at the Pistons’ salary cap table not

I might have accidentally contributed to some misunderstanding, so let me explain. In the middle of January, I recapped a game between the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Kansas Jayhawks for our Draft Watch series. The subtitle of the piece read that Cunningham still isn’t perfect. In support of that premise, I pointed out that he

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Each week, we send out questions to the most plugged-in Detroit Pistons fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to join Reacts. One thing was made abundantly clear by the latest SB Nation Reacts survey, the Phoenix Suns have become America’s

I think the Detroit Pistons trading down from the No. 1 is dumb. I also trust Troy Weaver implicitly. So when the Pistons GM says he’s turning over stones and gonna do his own research on the class of guys at the top of the 2021 NBA Draft, I both believe him and gotta game

First Big Ben netted us the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 Draft Lottery on Tuesday, now Mr. Big Shot is making a huge step in his coaching career – the Goin’ to Work Crew is making news around the NBA once again. As reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic, Chauncey Billups was

No, we don’t know officially what Troy Weaver will do with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. He’s got a sharp eye for developing talent, doesn’t subscribe to group think and is never afraid to be bold. When Weaver said “my clip will be empty,” it wasn’t because he had just executed a

Ever since the Detroit Pistons won the NBA Draft Lottery there has excitement, sure, but it already seems to be getting drowned out by worry, consternation, frustration, paranoia. Every non-Detroit Pistons fan is coming up with some truly wild reasons why Troy Weaver should trade the pick, why he doesn’t really want the pick, why

It didn’t take long after the Detroit Pistons secured the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft for national pundits and large chunks of the fan base to try and get rid of it. After spending a year begging for the Detroit Pistons to rebuild the right away (aka tank), and seeing it work to

Jerami Grant went from third banana on the Western Conference finals Denver Nuggets to turning heads as the leading scorer on a rebuilding Detroit Pistons team to a potential Olympic gold medalist all in the span of a year. Grant has committed to Team USA for the summer Olympics in Tokyo, which begins roughly one

One of the more common responses I got on Twitter after the Detroit Pistons won the NBA Draft Lottery — other than a series of excited expletives — was questions about Cade and requests to provide a little bit of additional info on the potential No. 1 overall pick. I get it. We are all

On lottery night, the Detroit Pistons were rewarded for the effort and fight they put in every night last season with the #1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. In all likelihood, they will take Cade Cunningham, the star guard/forward out of Oklahoma State. THIS IS A BIG DEAL Y’ALL. DETROIT IS GONNA BE

While Detroit Pistons fans around the world lost their collective minds at the realization that the Pistons had finally, after a 51-year drought, secured the first overall pick in the NBA Draft, Ben Wallace was made for the moment — calm, collected, a wry smile on his face. When Wallace saw the Houston Rockets’ logo

The Detroit Pistons won the NBA Draft Lottery, vaulting for the first time in history up the draft order. They came into the night with the second-worst record in the NBA and had the best odds to land No. 1 at just 14% with three other teams. The Pistons restored/rebuilt/tanked and now have an opportunity

The Detroit Pistons have the second-worst record in the NBA, but enter tonight’s NBA Draft Lottery with a better chance of picking fifth than of picking (27.8%) than of picking in the top 2 (27.4%). Still, the Pistons are guaranteed to pick no lower than sixth, and even that spot, while disappointing for fans hoping
