I think detroit's of making the playoffs is quite possible. What playoff seeding will they get? I'm thinking four seed.

5-8 ish. Going to surprise a lot of people i think. Forget spacing, the grizzlies also showed that can work. When you put more talent on the floor, like joe D said, the guys will make it work. Smith, drummond, monroe, jennings is too good not to win. Plus we have some good depth at multiple positions now.

I'm thinking 46-50 wins

It just depends on how the east is this year. Last year in the east the 7 seed was about .500. In the west 2 teams at or above .500 missed the playoffs. I think the Pistons can be around .500 next season which could get them the 7 or 8 seed in the east.

they won 29 games last year. I think a 12 game improvement is reasonable.
