2024 Pistons Struggle to Improve

The 2023-24 season for the Detroit Pistons is one that the team and fans would like to quickly forget. The team finished with a record of 14-68 which was the worst in the NBA. The Pistons lost an NBA record 28 straight games at the beginning of the season, finally ending this dreadful stretch with a two-point victory over the Toronto Raptors. The team had a net rating of -9.1 which was ranked 28th in the league. For reference, the Boston Celtics has a net rating of 11.7, ranking 1st in the league. The team's bright spots were few and far between and will have to rely on building a strong team through the draft to climb out of this stretch of poor play. The Pistons have not won more than 25 games in a season since the 2018-19 season, and have finished in last place in the East three times in the last five years. 

Despite having a top five pick in every draft since 2020, the team has been unable to develop these picks into a strong roster. In 2020 the team drafted Killian Hayes with the 7th pick. Hayes has played in 210 games and averaged 8.1 points on 26.1 minutes per game. In 2021 the Pistons drafted their best player yet as they selected Cade Cunningham with the first overall pick. Cunningham has played in 154 games and averaged an impressive 20.3 points on 33.4 minutes per game. In 2022 the team selected Jaden Ivey with the 5th overall pick. Ivey has played in 166 games and averaged 16.1 points in 30.3 minutes per game. In 2023 Ausar Tompson was selected with the fifth pick and he averaged 8.8 points on 25.1 minutes per game. In the most recent draft, the team selected Ron Holland with the fifth overall pick. Some of these top prospects have performed well but many have high expectations and have not reached their potential, despite being given plenty of minutes. 

In the regular season, the only bright spot on the roster came from Cade Cunningham. Cunningham averaged a team-leading 22.7 points and 7.5 assists per game.  Outside of Cunningham's performance, the team struggled as they ranked near the bottom in stats like offensive and defensive rating, turnover percentage, and effective field goal percentage. The team opened the season with an expected win total of 28.5 but finished with 14, significantly underperforming their expectations. The Pistons will have to make significant moves to return to a winning record. 

Pistons 2023 Season Review

The Pistons continued to struggle as a team this past season. Their 17-65 overall record meant that they took last place in the Eastern Conference standings. The team has made trades that haven't helped to improve their standings. Their draft picks haven't panned out. Their losses have meant that free agents have avoided them altogether. Still, there are a few players on the roster that stand out. Killian Hayes played in 76 games and had 470 assists. Bojan Bogdanovic was the team's top scorer, with 1273 points. He had a total of 223 rebounds and 152 assists.   

Pistons 2022 Season Recap

The Detroit Pistons will spend 2022-23 rebuilding their team. With the fifth pick in the NBA draft, the team will start their effort to improve their standing against teams like the Miami Heat, and many other teams in the NBA. 

Detroit Pistons Roster 2021

When looking at the Detroit Pistons roster, one would think this team would have a lot better results than they have had the last few years. The three best players on this roster are All-Star caliber players- center Andre Drummond, point guard Reggie Jackson, and power forward Blake Griffin. Yet, despite the talent, the best the Pistons have been able to muster up the last few years are a couple of appearances in the playoffs as the eighth seed and quick first-round exits. Perhaps a lack of support around said players were the problem.

The Pistons had two first-round draft choices entering the draft, allowing them to add a couple of supporting players for cheap. With their first selection, 15th overall, the Pistons selected big power forward Sekou Doumbouya from France. Interesting choice. With the 30th selection overall USC freshman shooting guard Kevin Porter. In free agency, they added point guard Tim Frazier, power forward Markief Morris, point guard Derrick Rose, and power forward Christian Wood. They also added point guard Jordan Bone via trade. So it appears as if the Pistons saw the lack of support as well, and did their best to alter it. All signs point to the Pistons being much better this season than they were a year ago. Time will tell us if that is true.

The Detroit Pistons had an average 2015-2016 season. They finished the season with a record of 44-38, good for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. They were swept by far superior Cleveland Cavaliers teams in round one of the NBA playoffs. The Pistons ended up with the 18th overall selection in the 2016 NBA draft and used it to select the raw but talented Henry Ellenson from Marquette.

Also this offseason, they signed forward Jon Leuer and guard Ish Smith as well as re-signed center Andre Drummond to a five-year, 127 million dollar contract. How have the moves translated to this season? The Pistons are currently sitting at 18-21, right on the outside of the fringe of the NBA playoffs.
