Detroit — Tanking time is over. For the Pistons, it didn’t really work, unless former No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham blossoms into a superstar. This year’s reward — the fifth pick in a draft with only three notable prizes — is for sale, by most accounts. After tanking time comes tinkering time. And then finally,
We hear from Kerry Carpenter, who blasted the go-ahead three-run home run in the 7th inning for the Tigers and propelled them to victory.
The NBA Draft is Thursday, and very little about how the first 10 picks will play out is settled. We don’t know who is going No. 2. We don’t know who the first Thompson Twin selected will be, and we certainly have no clue what the Detroit Pistons plan to do at No. 5. We
Detroit — The Pistons will cross off another vital item from their offseason checklist Thursday night when the NBA Draft takes place in Brooklyn. The Pistons currently have the fifth overall pick, along with the No. 31 pick, which means two new players could join the team in Detroit soon. There is a consensus among
Victor Wembanyama (Photo by Aurelien Meunier/Getty Images) NBA Draft rumors: Spurs hope Victor Wembanyama plays in Summer League There has been much speculation about whether or not Victor Wembanyama will appear in Summer League action for the San Antonio Spurs, who have practically already drafted him with the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft.
A knockdown shooter, no matter whether the shot comes off of a pull-up or finding open space for a catch-and-shoot opportunity—Kansas freshman Gradey Dick is one of those players. In his one collegiate season with the Jayhawks, the 6-foot-7 wing shot 40.3 percent from 3-point range on 5.7 attempts per game, while also converting on
I have the Detroit Pistons selecting Cam Whitmore fifth overall in my latest mock draft. The Villanova freshman is widely viewed around the NBA and by draft experts as a high-ceiling, hyper-athletic scorer who could reach the NBA’s upper echelon of talent if he develops his court vision. He fills several needs for the Pistons,
The NBA draft is Thursday. A wide range of outcomes remain possible for the Detroit Pistons, who are in a precarious position with the fifth overall pick. They’ll be able to choose from a variety of wings and forwards who would address various needs, both short and long term. They have worked out, according to
You think this is hard? Getting fired from an elite NBA team right after the playoffs? That’s not hard. Finding a new job? Not hard. Moving to a new city? Not hard. Taking on a struggling franchise that has been losing since the Obama administration? Not hard. No. This is hard. Tiptoeing across a hospital
Detroit — If you ask Rick Mahorn’s children to describe their father, they won’t hesitate. Derrick II calls him a hero. Jordan nearly tears up at the thought of how giving her dad is. Blake says he’s inspiring, supportive and hilarious. Others know Mahorn know as a straight-shooter — someone who doesn’t mince words —
With all of the love for new Detroit Pistons coach Monty Williams circulating this week, it’s important to remember one maxim, true across all pro leagues: Coaches are hired to be fired (or mutually part ways with, if you’re Dwane Casey). Rare is the coach that lasts for a generation — or even half a
The Detroit Pistons are exploring multiple avenues to improve after a disastrous 17-win season. One way is via the NBA Draft, which is now less then a week away. But there is also free agency beginning on July 1, and a new report suggests a former Phoenix Suns forward is high on Detroit’s wishlist. Marc

There is less than one week to go before Thursday’s NBA Draft, and, hopefully, this is also the Detroit Pistons’ last big shot at a difference-making talent with a top-five lottery selection before new coach Monty Williams has them winning plenty more games than they have in recent years. With some top-end talent already seemingly
Nothing is worse than being compared to your sibling. Most brother duos compete for better grades, being the first picked in gym class, and likely over a heated game of NBA 2K or two. For the Thompson twins, the 2023 NBA Draft is the culmination of their brotherly comparison, even though it shouldn’t be. Amen
