Throughout this offseason, the Detroit Pistons took the most reasonable, responsible approach.
Weaver and company drafted well, acquired veterans who fulfill needs, and kept their cap space for another year. That’s what fans should want from a franchise.
We may not want to hear it, but the painful truth is that the Pistons can’t truly compete for a championship unless one of their draft picks becomes a star. Simply put: no path to a championship exists without a team developing a draft pick into a dominant player.
It makes no difference where in the draft the team finds a dominant player.
