Team Profile:

With the hiring of Monty Williams, their excellent draft – Ausar Thompson and Marcus Sasser – and a really solid mix of young guys and veterans, the Pistons are far, far superior this season. It won’t show in the wins department, but they have an elite young roster. Cunningham will become a star this season; Detroit has a veteran first-option in Bogdanovic; and Ivey, Duren, Stewart and Wiseman have excellent potential. The Pistons should be entertaining.

Player Profile:

Personally, the pairing of Bogdanovic and Detroit made little sense to me at first, but having such a young roster and a veteran who can get the team 20-25 points a game is smart. This lets the young guys settle into roles. I love him with the Pistons.

Biggest Strength: Young Talent
