The Detroit Pistons won only 17 games this season, and fans are expecting a much better result next season. However, after looking at the biggest win jumps from the NBA season this year, what is a very-way-too-early-realistic prediction of how many more wins the Pistons could get next year? Also, we heard from Cade Cunningham and his teammates during exit interviews; what were some key quotes we heard?

20 win jumps happen after injury seasons plus great draft
Double the wins from '22/'23. Border of draft lottery '24.
I went to 3 games this season and the LCA crowd size looks pretty good. The best game was that Spurs game where folks were in the game.
Cade playing would've equated to about 25 wins total. He's not superman
This league is very unpredictable, I think with everything that could happen this offseason if everything goes right, no major injuries this season, internal growth and fit, I think play in is the expectation. Hell I don't think it's unlikely we go far above that. I think cade is that generational, I think with the moves we could make with the draft, free agency, trades, and some internal development that's possible.
If he gets to 5k subs does he win a prize?
I will be so shocked if we get that number 1 pick that will change everything but I don't see it :/
Bro this question is way way way to early 😂 we haven’t did anything
I feel like this is a shot in the dark because this team might look very different. We don’t know if we are getting Wembanyama or Scoot.
I think if this team was healthy all year they would have won 30. I think they would be better than Charlotte was but not as good as Orlando.
I expect 27 more wins and getting 6th seed. The key players got better overall plus adding lottery draft/free agent will fix the starting linep and bench. My concerns for the new coach is if can minimize turnovers and improve their defense.
29 dubs next season
Depends on who we get in free agency, if we get Wembanyama and we stay healthy this is a play in team. We were projected we win 25 to 27 games coming into the season. That was before we knew how good Ivey and Duren would turn out to be and Cade getting hurt. Compare the talent on this team to other teams that made big jumps. Is Cade the player we saw in the second half of last year or before he went out? Can he score 20-22ppg? Be realistic. Is Ivey capable of being 16-18ppg? He showed that he could get 16ppg without Cade.
I think if everyone is healthy this season, it's a bit more than low 20s, I would say around higher 20s but we would still suck ass
I actually agree with the grizzlies selection, but unfortunately Steven adams is out with a stem cell injection and Clarke is out with an Achilles year. That's a lot of depth and adams is a beast, so I don't think they make it far but we have to see, maybe jah goes ham or something
At least 25 wins on the season. It would be an improvement from the mess we've seen here. If they win 26 games and are competitive in the majority of them then I'll take it for what it is. Hell, once that mid-season tournament starts we might want to have a go at winning that.
The Sixers, after 3 high draft picks went from 28 wins (2016-2017) to 52 wins (2017-2018). The 3 picks were Fultz, Simmons, and Embiid. The Pistons will be coming off 3 high draft picks and they will have Cade, Ivy, and Player X. If Detroit gets the #1-2 pick, Pistons fans should have high expectations and not just a 36 win season. If Embiid and Simmons can get the Sixers a 24 win bump, Ivy, Cade, and the #1-2 pick should provide something similar.
