The Detroit Pistons, after losing to the Portland Trailblazers and falling to 15-50 on the season, are not actually as far away from making the Play-In tournament as their record would paint. Major changes are not needed for this team to make a big improvement next season with the return of Cade Cunningham, rather the *right* changes are needed to fill in a roster around the young core that actually makes sense.

Ku, you can’t run a two seven footer front court minus true playmakers on the court. Detroit is at the bottom of the league when it comes to sharing the ball (assist), and shooting the 3 ball.
Reason why they are the worst record in the NBA, it's all coach Casey's fault
So hard to say what level and when Cade will click next year. I think he will eventually, but he's still a rookie in experience. Having 2 super young guards as your starting backcourt is gonna be difficult. I expect growing pain stretches early. BTW, Wemby can't shoot! He projects to be able to, but likely is not that guy next year. I think Stew is a good fit next to Duren, so we disagree big there. You need a #5 option who accepts it and does the glue things. Also disagree this offense is smooth without Bojan starting, he is the spacing.. and Ivey needs to be rim pressure. So In general I agree with the thesis here, but some of the players dismissed also need to solve these issues.
The bigs are all project plzyers, have not even learned how to play nba level basketball.
Ku, i like your setup today. I think the pistons need to offer a big contract for Kuzma in the off-season. If not him, get a finney-smith. Trade away bojan and Burks, and you're good.
The Piston plays hard every night. That a plus. But it steps to this game. Next year, I expect the Piston to fight for a play in.
Bye bye Bogey! We need defense.
Insanity is his idea 3:32
Time to bring Jeremy Grant back home. Let’s go! He can play the 3 and 4, he’s insurance for a stretch 4 who can defend but also play a back up 3 who can defend. Also we will have a really good draft pick, so Us continuing to develop our young core.
