From the article
STRENGTHS: If focused, Andre Drummond is a force to be reckoned with in the paint … He will give you a bunch of 20 and 15 games every year … Avery Bradley brings much-needed winning character to this group … A defensive ace from the very start in his NBA career, he’s now also a pretty relevant offensive player … Tobias Harris is a solid starter who makes a positive impact on both ends of the court … Strong rebounding team … They play in a weak conference … Winning 40 games probably gets you to the playoffs.
WEAKNESSES: Just hard to be excited about their talent … Realistically, they don’t have that many Top 75 players … Reggie Jackson comes off a disappointing season … Can he bounce back? … Even with Bradley and Luke Kennard around, probably a subpar three-point shooting squad … Whether in transition or half-court sets, scoring doesn’t come easy for Detroit … Chemistry must improve … The team’s franchise player can’t make free throws, thus limiting his impact … Overall, Detroit shot 71.9 from the line last season … Only Miami did worse … Effort has been an issue with the Pistons lately … Have they tuned out Stan Van Gundy?
PREDICTION: 3rd in the Central Division, 8th in the Eastern Conference.
A sub par 3 point shooting team. Doesn't SVG's offense rely on 3 point shooting?
I don't see this team making the playoffs. I see a sub .500 team with no stars and not a very bright future.
