Whats The Coli's Expectations for the Detroit Pistons this season?

[Archangel]

Andre Drummond, Reggie Jackson, Stanley Johnson, KCP?

Won 44 games last season en route to the 8th seed and put up a decent fight against the Cavs in the 1st round.

Can they crack 50 wins or are they worse this season?

I think they'll probably be slightly better if not the same. 44-48 wins this year.

 

[SuaveHooper88]

dont expect them to improve much. Maybe win either 5 games more or 5 games less this season over all.

They need to shake up that roster. They look decent on paper, but they don't mesh well together on the court.

Gonna be tough with Reggie out till early December. He's their primary playmaker and everything kinda of runs through their screen-and-roll action.

REGGIE OUT 6 WEEKS, HELL BE BACK BY NOVEMBER

I GOT THEM WINNING 45-47 FOR A 7TH SEED IN THE WEST .. THEY WILL DRAW ATLANTA IN THE 1ST ROUND AND KNOCK EM OUT

I hope they give Boban a lot of playing time

I wonder if they would play him and Drummond out there together

They made some good moves but don't think they win 50 this year. Esp. not with RJ missing some games. I have them behind the Cavs, Raps, Celts & Hawks and around the same tier as Indiana & Charlotte and possibly wild card teams such as Milwaukee & NY.

Same as last year more than likely

Y'all really sleep on Indy. I loved there off season moves

indy should be a top 4 seed easily.

Idk about the Pistons....they should improve just on the fact their core is young but some teams in the east make some signicant upgrades so I'll say 6-7th seed if RJ doesn't miss anymore time.

I didn't follow them in the pre-season so I don't know how they been doing.

PG is arguably a top 10 player in the L and they basically replaced Hill/Mahimni by Teague/Young/Jefferson/Seraphin (unless I'm missing something). But some of their moves left me torn:

- They plan on being a running team if I understand and Al Jeff doesn't really fit that. He looked past it physically last season in Charlotte.
- They got worse defensively IMO. Hill is a better defender than Teague and I'd say Mahimni is better than any big man they acquired (on defense). Thad Young is meh, Al Jeff & Seraphin are on that end as well.
- Depends on how the enw guys fit in the team.

Miles Turner

He was alread there last season. He probably won't progress much statistically this season but mostly in terms of play.

they also signed Aaron Brooks but IDK if he'll make it and I'd watch out some of the youngsters (GRIII, Joe Young, Niang...). Now that I think about it, I wouldn't be surprised if they either win 50+ or if barely or somehow miss the playoffs

They are a top 4 lock imo. Not completely sold on NY. Toronto unless JV becomes dominant is taking a step back

I still think Toronto is still the 2nd best team in the East. JV will probably have a breakout year (unless injuries) and while Sully isn't Bismack, he'll provide in other areas Biyombo didn't.
