Made the playoffs for the first time in 6 seasons this past year, and we're only improving!

Looking like we'll begin this season with a lineup of:


PG: Reggie Jackson / Ish Smith / Steve Blake
SG: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope / Darrun Hilliard / Michael Gbinije
SF: Marcus Morris / Stanley Johnson / Reggie Bullock
PF: Tobias Harris / Jon Leuer / Henry Ellenson
C: Andre Drummond / Aron Baynes / Boban Marjanovic


Definitely a young group with a great coach ready to make a splash in the East over the next several seasons. I'm excited for this upcoming season and the future of this franchise!

I really like the Pistons this year. I do believe Stanley Johnson will be the starting 3 and really boost this team to get the 4 seed. Drummond is a monster and hopefully his free throw shooting improved as well as the rule changes should help them out too.

Pistons will be the team I root for in the east this year (assuming my Sixers miss the playoffs and or Westbrook doesn't get traded to the east because I'll root for him wherever he goes).

yeah, if not this year then he'll definitely start next year. just going by the current depth chart for right now.

the 4 seed would be amazing, but i'll be happy with a 6 or above


even though we haven't had a super flashy off-season i think we've addressed pretty much every need that we had last season. our bench is much better, i love the leuer, boban and ish smith signings.

ellenson was a steal at #18 overall. i wish we would have drafted kay felder but gbinije seems like a solid second round pick, and he's pretty versatile so i'm not mad about it.

I got them as 4. I'm extremely confident in this team. Obviously I could be wrong and I'm more likely to be wrong than right but I'm going with my gut here.
