Pistons Season Preview 2022-23
The Detroit Pistons are one of the most intriguing young teams in the league as they enter the season. The team went with a full youth movement as they traded away veteran Jerami Grant to Portland during the offseason.
Leading the way for this young roster is second-year point guard Cade Cunningham who came on strong at the end of his rookie season. The number one overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft averaged 17.4 points, 5.6 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game last season.
The youth movement isn’t just with Cunningham though, it’s all over this roster. 23-year-old Saddiq Bey is coming off of a strong second season where he averaged 16.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.
The team also added Marvin Bagley III at the trade deadline last season. In 18 games for Detroit Bagley showed flashes of his potential as the averaged 14.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
The Pistons also have young players in Hamidou Diallo and Isaiah Stewart that have shown flashes during their young careers. 24-year-old Diallo averaged 11.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per game last season, while Stewart led the team in rebounding with 8.7 per game. He also upped his scoring to 8.3 points and 1.1 blocks per game.
The youth movement continued with the two lottery picks the Pistons added in the 2022 draft as they selected Jaden Ivey with the fifth overall pick and acquired the number 13 pick, Jalen Duren, from the Hornets. The Pistons hope that Ivey will form an explosive young backcourt with Cunningham and that Duren can give them more on the interior.
The Pistons also added a couple of veterans that should be able to make an impact in Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks. Bogdanovic averaged 18.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game last season in Utah last season and gives the Pistons some much-needed shooting at 38.7% from three.
Burks has become a reliable off-the-bench scorer as he’s averaged double-figure scoring numbers in each of the last four seasons including 11.7 points per game for the Knicks last season. The Pistons are hopeful that Bogdanovic and Burks can bring them leadership and scoring for a young team.
If the veterans can merge with the team’s young talent then the Pistons could be one of the surprise teams in the league this season.
