The wing position for the Detroit Pistons is surprisingly deep, but only because in Detroit’s system, just about everyone is asked to play off the ball along the perimeter. Starting point guard Cade Cunningham could easily find himself on the court while Jaden Ivey or Killian Hayes initiates the offense. And the reverse is true

Hey everyone! This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and we have something special for you; an interview with Mirin Fader about her recent feature piece, A New Dawn of Detroit Basketball, in The Ringer. Mirin and I talked about why the collegiate atmosphere of the team is a good thing, her potential future

The Detroit Pistons are back for year 3 of Troy Weaver’s “restoration” of a franchise that has spent more than a decade in the NBA wilderness. If not expectations, there is at least excitement and intrigue surrounding these Pistons for the first time in a long time. The franchise appears to have a building block

Cunningham and the Pistons dropped their preseason finale 126-111 to fall to 0-4 with the regular season just a week away. Cunningham had 15 points, six rebounds and six assists with four turnovers, but

On the depressing end,

The Detroit Pistons face the Memphis Grizzlies in the team’s final tune-up before the regular season kicks off Oct. 19 against the Orlando Magic.

The Central Division is home to your Detroit Pistons, and also perhaps the franchise with one of the best NBA title odds (though there is plenty of competition), the hottest young, up and coming team, the franchise pivoting into full rebuild mode and another team that is stuck in neutral and might be doing a

Already beset by injuries to several potential rotation pieces, the Detroit Pistons got a bit of good news Wednesday when the team revealed Marvin Bagley avoided the most serious knee injury and only sustained an MCL sprain and bone bruise in Tuesday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

It’s already hard to get excited about this year’s Detroit Pistons three games into the preseason, and the team’s latest loss, 115-99 to an undermanned Oklahoma City Thunder team, is the latest evidence. The Pistons’ switching scheme was once again a shambles with poor communication, late or nonexistent rotations and open lanes to the basket

The Detroit Pistons are looking to notch their first win of the preseason, and it looks like the Oklahoma City Thunder might just oblige them. OKC is the rare team that schedules six games in the preseason including a back-to-back. The Thunder rested a large contingent of players on Sunday against Maccabi Ra’Anana. It’s unclear

We finally have legit Detroit Pistons basketball to watch, discuss, and analyze. No more workout videos or offseason scrimmages to break down.

The Detroit Pistons are in an odd position where it’s impossible to discuss their point guard rotation without talking about a lot of non-point guards.
