20. Detroit Pistons

Projected Starting Frontcourt: Tobias HarrisMarcus MorrisAndre Drummond

Drummond is an elite rebounder and led the league at nearly 15 RPG, but is still very limited offensively and may end up being one of the worst free throw shooters in league history.

Drummond needs to develop offensively for the this team to succeed and not be a fringe playoff team. Harris and Morris both can stretch the floor and make room for Drummond in the post, and both have three-point abilities. Harris has yet to play a full season in Detroit and they may slide up the rankings throughout the season if these three gel together.
