If you’re wondering what’s wrong with the Pistons, here’s a brief rundown. This is quietly the worst ran team in the NBA.
Our current GM has drafted 1st, 5th, 5th, 7th, and 13th over the course of 4 years. Exactly zero of those players are league average 3 point shooters. And the rest of the roster around them over the course of those 4 season has been filled out with former draft busts and other “lottery tickets”, lottery tickets meaning guys who can jump high and not shoot a lick.
This front office has impeded the progress of our draft picks by doing a horrible job of filling out the roster. The Pistons had the most cap space in the league and our big swing was trading for Joe Harris on one leg and Monte Morris.
It is easily the worst ran team in the NBA and has been for a while, but a portion of our fans will tell you we started the rebuild with no assets 5 years ago so it’s actually unreasonable to start seeing results for another couple years. Famously, all successful rebuilds take 7 years to climb out of the basement
