The Detroit Pistons are currently 10-15, tied with the Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls as the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference. They are only a half behind the 8th-seeded Brooklyn Nets at 10-14. Considering this team reached double-digit wins on Dec. 10, a full three months ahead of last year’s team, it’s clear Detroit has improved by leaps and bounds. However, not many would call this team “good,” and there are still ways to make this team better without acquiring outside help.
First, let’s take a look at how the starting lineup is performing using lineup data from the NBA:
Pistons - Cade/Ivey/THJ/Tobias/Duren (198 minutes)
- ORTG: 114.
