At least that Rockets team somehow held an above-.500 record and then crashed down to the mean, getting blown out by the Wizards who basically have Poole and Kuzma doing whatever they’re doing has to be the lowest low in the last half a decade.
The Pistons are in year 4 of their rebuild, their 5th year tanking, and they have gotten progressively worse. 3 top 5 picks, 4 lottery picks, a load of failed projects bought from other teams and yet they’ve amounted to like… almost no change at all. Ausar looks great, Cade isn’t terrible but it’s becoming more and more true that they somehow don’t have a franchise-altering player on their team right now.
This team might legit remain at single digit wins for this entire calendar year. Their cross-town football team legitimately could have more wins this calendar year by the end of December. How?
I get what DET is trying to do, in that - They are a big team across the board, and you can’t teach size. Drafting the BPA regardless of “fit” is also a valid philosophy.
Now that they have a new coach, and Monty is seeing what’s “there”, once “trade season” starts mid Dec-Jan, we’ll see if DET looks to move some pieces around to make things fit a little better, and identify the “core” moving forward.

When the offense works, it works. But there isn’t much to fall back on when it doesn’t. As progression goes, taking the Kings’ Road isn’t a bad choice for year one of actual success.
