Things Look Tough for Detroit Pistons Moving Forward

Detroit Pistons have rostered 16 players as of now, and 12 out of those are 24-years-old or less. Last season, it seemed all Detroit played was NBA finals competitors. With Cade Cunningham sitting out the entire preseason because of a sprained ankle, the Pistons were severely underprepared for that level of competition. Detroit kicked off with a 1-8 record and then injuries began coming in. to make the situations even worse, the schedule continued to be relentless as well.

On december 29, they also suffered a depressing 94-85 loss to the New York Knicks.The Pistons record was just 5-28 at that time. Detroit can be hopeful of making a run at the Play-in tournament, however, being buried deep in the schedule is a major turn-off. A light early schedule might help the team sort itself out. Although, that is nearly impossible.
