Looking toward the next NBA season, the Detroit Pistons are already in a position to succeed.
Their young guys are all playing great, Jerami Grant seems optimistic about his future in Detroit, a top-five draft pick is on the way (we hope), and Detroit has already shown potential with elite playmaking and stifling defense.
However, the team is not quite suited to be a modern NBA playoff team., as the Pistons’ three-point shooting has been a total embarrassment. As a team, they have no one who averages over three deep balls a night, leaving their interior plates like Stewart having to create their own shots, and their pass-first point guard Killian Hayes has no one to kick it out to.
