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 woke up early Wednesday morning to give you an instant (as instant as we were able) analysis on

Well, here we are. The Detroit Pistons, the worst team in the NBA last season, will pick fifth in the 2023 NBA Draft. It’s the worst-case scenario for Detroit, who dreamt of the top pick and Victor Wembanyama even if most of us expected something worse. The DBB crew dove into the fall and what

Yes, our Detroit Pistons got hit with the worst possible draft outcome they could have, dropping all the way to the fifth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Yes, there are perfectly fine prospects that can be selected at five. But the Pistons’ best chance at an impact player now comes in a trade,

Ohhhhhhh boy. After one of the most futile seasons in franchise history, the Detroit Pistons will not be rewarded with the No. 1 overall pick and the chance to draft generational prospect Victor Wembanyama. No, no, the light at the end of a miserable 17-win season is the No. 5 pick, a indescribably disappointing result

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 one final episode previewing the NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday night. We discuss just how important the

We are finally here. The night Detroit Pistons fans have been waiting for since Cade Cunningham declared he would be undergoing season-ending surgery in November last year. Join Wes Davenport, Bryce Simon of Motor City Hoops, Blake Silverman and me from 8 p.m. ET as we react to the results LIVE. If you have any

Today is the day. The day a franchise’s future is forever changed because they are the lucky one chosen to have the opportunity to draft Victor Wembanyama No. 1 overall. It could even be the Detroit Pistons! The odds are certainly not in their favor, but, hey, it’s gotta be somebody. Why not Detroit? The

The NBA Playoffs have been great so far, but are the Conference Finals going to keep that going? Some are predicting lopsided series as the Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics could potentially make short work of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat, respectively. Of course, in these playoffs, it is always best to

If the Detroit Pistons are lucky enough to select Victor Wembanyama in the 2023 NBA Draft, they will have defied recent history. The team with the worst win-loss ratio is yet to select first overall since the lottery odds were adjusted in 2019. In September 2017, the NBA Board of Governors passed a lottery reform

We don’t have the words to properly describe Victor Wembanyama. We’ve never seen a prospect like him and in most ways, we’ve never seen a human like him. Wembanyama has long been assumed to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but by way of him playing in the French league

I’ve been lucky enough to cover the Phoenix Suns over the past few years and have had a close watch on them for Monty Williams’ entire tenure. That tenure came to an end Saturday night as new owner Matt Ishbia decided to part ways with the veteran head coach. Now, I feel a bit unlucky

While we don’t know how the Detroit Pistons’ luck will play out in the NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday, the team has one known draft asset in their back pocket. Thanks to a league-worst 17-65 record, the Pistons hold the top selection in the second round of the upcoming draft, no. 31 overall. Where Detroit

As the Detroit Pistons began a search for a new head coach after Dwane Casey announced he was taking a front office position, there were reports from The Athletic that the team would interview high-level assistants, but would also not rush to make a hire. The patience was geared toward seeing if any top coaches

The Detroit Pistons have decided if it wasn’t broke then it is best not to fix it when it comes to the NBA Draft Lottery. The franchise has reached into the recent past and decided the best person to represent the Pistons at next week’s NBA Draft Lottery is franchise great Ben Wallace. If you’re
