Who is on the Detroit Pistons roster and what is the depth chart?
The Pistons get 15 spots to fill each season on NBA contracts.
They have a first-round pick, at No. 5 overall, and own the first pick in the second round, No. 31 overall.
But who knows what trades and maneuvers general manager Troy Weaver and staff will pull off between now and the June 22 draft and free agency, with signings becoming official July 6. They’ll have more than $25 million in cap space to spend, and are desperate for help on the wing.
THE PLAN: 3 needs they should prioritize and potential targets
COACH SEARCH: Pistons have 2 paths for next coach: Stick with finalists or hire fired winner?
MOCK DRAFTS: Pistons likely to pick between 2 players
Here’s a look at the current roster of players under contract and depth chart.

Of course, the league is fluid with positions and interchangeable matchups. For example, Cunningham and Burks can both play on the wing as the “3” on defense due to their size.
