Jaden Ivey put his head down after the Sacramento Kings selected Keegan Murray fourth overall. There was no way he’d fall past five, he thought to himself.

Detroit — Between Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart, the Detroit Pistons have plenty of players on their Summer League roster who played significant NBA minutes last season.

As active as I was scouting players during the 2022 NBA Draft cycle, Gabriele Procida was not a name I was familiar with or a player on whom I had done any research. So, when Troy Weaver and the Detroit Pistons were on the clock at No. 36, I was REALLY hoping to see them
Every year, around the start of July, it’s a sports holiday. The start of NBA free agency doesn’t have the same pomp and circumstance that the NFL Draft does, but it has more drama and far-reaching effects on the next season and beyond.

The Detroit Pistons were looking for a bit of size on the wing, and they hope they’ve found it in free agent Kevin Knox, who agreed to a two-year $6 million deal.

The Pistons have agreed to bring back restricted free agent power forward Marvin Bagley III on a three-year, $37MM contract, writes Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.

It looks like the 18-game audition last season for the Detroit Pistons paid off in a big way for Marvin Bagley III. The former No. 2 overall pick was mostly glued to the bench and had worn out his welcome in Sacramento. But he found new life, and playing time, in Detroit, and now he
