Detroit Bad Boys

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

Cam Whitmore is one of the youngest prospects in this year’s NBA Draft. He won’t turn 19 until the start of Summer League play in July. The former 5-star recruit is nearly a year (10 months) younger than Houston’s Jarace Walker, and over a year and a half (19 months) younger than the Overtime Elite’s

It’s NBA Draft week, and outside of the first pick, there are still plenty of questions to be answered on Thursday night. The consensus is the NBA Draft starts at the Houston Rockets’ selection at No. 4, and they could go any number of ways. The options only get more complex for the Detroit Pistons

The NBA Draft is Thursday, and very little about how the first 10 picks will play out is settled. We don’t know who is going No. 2. We don’t know who the first Thompson Twin selected will be, and we certainly have no clue what the Detroit Pistons plan to do at No. 5. We

A knockdown shooter, no matter whether the shot comes off of a pull-up or finding open space for a catch-and-shoot opportunity—Kansas freshman Gradey Dick is one of those players. In his one collegiate season with the Jayhawks, the 6-foot-7 wing shot 40.3 percent from 3-point range on 5.7 attempts per game, while also converting on

The Detroit Pistons are exploring multiple avenues to improve after a disastrous 17-win season. One way is via the NBA Draft, which is now less then a week away. But there is also free agency beginning on July 1, and a new report suggests a former Phoenix Suns forward is high on Detroit’s wishlist. Marc

There is less than one week to go before Thursday’s NBA Draft, and, hopefully, this is also the Detroit Pistons’ last big shot at a difference-making talent with a top-five lottery selection before new coach Monty Williams has them winning plenty more games than they have in recent years. With some top-end talent already seemingly

Nothing is worse than being compared to your sibling. Most brother duos compete for better grades, being the first picked in gym class, and likely over a heated game of NBA 2K or two. For the Thompson twins, the 2023 NBA Draft is the culmination of their brotherly comparison, even though it shouldn’t be. Amen

After waiting months for a head coach to be selected, fans fired up their computers at 4:30 pm yesterday to tune in for Monty Williams’s first official media availability as a Detroit Pistons. Following a close to 30-minute delay in the proceedings; Monty Williams, Troy Weaver and Detroit Pistons majority owner, Tom Gores, graced the

Monty Williams never intended on coaching next season. Part of that was financial — he had millions still guaranteed from the Phoneix Suns, the team that just unceremoniously fired him — and he was dealing with important family matters that were bigger than basketball. During his introductory press conference as the new head coach of
