Detroit Bad Boys

The Detroit Pistons decided what could amount to its biggest offseason move in the hours before free agency by trading a sizable portion of its available cap space to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Joe Harris and two future second-round picks. Harris is one of the best 3-point shooters in the NBA, but has

We are just a few hours away from the start of NBA Free Agency, the most exciting day in the entire NBA calendar. There are rumors galore and fake Twitter accounts trying to become the next Woj or Shams. With the Detroit Pistons armed with a good amount of cap space, I am sure some

Join Wes and Jack tonight from 8 pm E.T. for your weekly dose of interactive Detroit Pistons discussion. With the NBA Draft now in the rearview mirror and free agency upon our doorstep, we have plenty to cover in tonight’s live stream. Below are some of the key topics the crew aim to cover: Detroits

The Pistons Pulse is brought to you by The Detroit Free Press and is co hosted by Bryce Simon of MotorCityHoops and Omari Sankofa II, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press. Omari and I are back this week with our regularly scheduled Tuesday drop talking about all things Detroit Pistons. If you

If the Detroit Pistons’ newest rookies can provide anything in their first year, perhaps the most valuable thing would be clarity. Ausar Thompson and Marcus Sasser have plenty you should love about their games, but they are far from perfect players or finished products. However, what they offer up from day one is a tenaciousness,

The NBA released the 2023 Summer League schedule, and the Detroit Pistons will be facing the Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets, Toronto Raptors, and the San Antonio Spurs. The biggest game on the schedule will be against the Houston Rockets (July 9 at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN2) when Detroit rookie Ausar Thompson will face his

The Pistons Pulse is brought to you by The Detroit Free Press and is co hosted by Bryce Simon of MotorCityHoops and Omari Sankofa II, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press. Omari and I (and Wes) pulled a short night of sleep to get up and get out a Detroit Pistons NBA

Many trades are rumored, even more are likely discussed between front office, but few actually happen. That was as true as ever in Thursday’s NBA Draft when a flurry of deals were expected and only a few marginal moves occurred. One of the finalized deals did involve the Detroit Pistons, with the team swapping No.

The Detroit Pistons took one more big NBA Draft day swing by selecting Overtime Elite wing Ausar Thompson over more established prospects at the college level like Jarace Walker, Taylor Hendricks, and Cam Whitmore. The Pistons were banking on the elite upside Thompson possesses as a wing defender, connector, and transition threat. His upside surpassed

The Detroit Pistons took a huge swing at No. 5 by picking the upside of Ausar Thompson, but when they traded back into the first round at No. 25 to select four-year point guard Marcus Sasser. Sasser played for Houston and shot nearly 37% on seven 3-point attempts per game. He’s the type of player

The Detroit Pistons needed a lot of talent, and you can only fill so many of those roster holes with one selection. With the fifth pick, the Pistons decided the best talent to have, and the player with the highest upside was Ausar Thompson. The versatile wing defender and connector went just one pick after

The NBA Draft has arrived, and nobody knows who the Detroit Pistons are selecting, or if they are trading up, down or out from their Nos. 5 and 31 draft positions. Last year, the Pistons also drafted fifth and came away with Jaden Ivey who exceeded all expectations in year one. They also selected Jalen

This is it. The final Big Board. Fittingly, it represents the thoughts of our readers who are also the people that make everything we are able to do at Detroit Bad Boys possible. In just a few days, more than 300 people submitted entries filling out a Big Board featuring 17 names, and we printed

The NBA Draft is finally here, but that is where the clarity seems to end. During a somewhat unpredictable draft evaluation process, perhaps it is fitting we are ending it with absolute chaos among your friendly staff at Detroit Bad Boys over who makes up the optimal players likely to be available when the Pistons

We’ve all got a type. That includes Detroit Pistons GM Troy Weaver. We’ve seen the soft-spoken Weaver meander through three drafts during his time in Detroit. Each time, he’s been drawn toward prospects who fit a certain archetype — one that spans beyond positionality. It’s hard to explain but, weirdly, I feel like describing it

There are few things I love betting on more than the NBA Draft. It’s volatile. It’s random. And odds shift drastically in the days leading up to it. Last year, when news broke that the Orlando Magic were suddenly wavering on Jabari Smith Jr. and considering Paolo Banchero with the No. 1 overall pick, odds

The Pistons Pulse is brought to you by The Detroit Free Press and is co hosted by Bryce Simon of MotorCityHoops and Omari Sankofa II, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press. Omari and I recorded our final episode of The Pistons Pulse before the NBA Draft on Thursday, June 22nd. Make sure

Taylor Hendricks is one of the last lottery prospects I’m getting up to speed on ahead of the Detroit Pistons’ first-round draft choice on Thursday, and it was easy for me to see why he had such a quick rise. I’ve already closely scouted other prospects in his range, including Ausar Thompson or Jarace Walker,

Barring a miracle, this is likely (hopefully) the last time the Detroit Pistons are entering the NBA Draft with a top-5 selection. The last two drafts in particular have borne some fruit in the forms of Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren. Now the Pistons have a crucial choice to make. Do they add
