The Pistons are in year 4 of their rebuild (some would say they’ve been rebuilding since the Drummond draft), and currently seem to be taking steps backwards with their young core.

Cade is currently the least efficient player to average 20+ ppg in the league & Monty has been questionable with his coaching patterns. Their 2020 draft where they selected Hayes, Stewart, & Bey, has been a failure considering who was available on the board. They had similar cap money to Houston this off-season & instead of adding quality vets to help their core, they took on expiring contracts for players that aren’t even in the rotation.

There is no doubt they are the “black eye” of the league, & have been for some time.

How are Bagley and Wiseman working out? The amount of backup centers on this squad is craaazy

Wiseman does not look like an NBA player, he’s absolutely terrible. Obviously I’m biased against Bagley, but it feels like he gets an awful lot of shots when he’s in (with mixed results). He’s certainly trying harder than he was in Sac, but he’s not changing the Pistons’ future by any means. That’s fine though, cause Jalen Duren is one of Detroit’s for sure keepers.
