Detroit Pistons: It’s time to start the youth movement

It’s time.

It’s time for the Detroit Pistons to start the youth movement. It’s time to admit that this team is going nowhere and the only way to salvage the season is to get the young players some reps.

The Pistons lost five in a row — and looked terrible doing it — before Sunday’s win. Injuries, trade rumors, inconsistent minutes and just plain bad play have taken their toll, which is evident in the body language, whether it is Andre Drummond going through the motions and checking out mentally or rookie Sekou Doumbouya sulking on the bench.
