Detroit Pistons
Season Preview & Projections

Predictions

• While we don't hate the Pistons' chances as much as our model, this is a roster with major holes, especially defensively. The Pistons will be on the cusp on the playoffs and sneak in as the 7 seed
• Blake Griffin will continue his migration towards the perimeter and hit 250 threes this year. His line will be 22 PPG / 7 RPG / 6 APG
• Derrick Rose will supplant Reggie Jackson in the starting lineup by the end of the year
• Luke Kennard will also make his way back into the starting lineup in an attempt by Dwane Casey to goose a mediocre offense
• The Pistons will make the prudent choice and not offer a max extension to Andre Drummond
