Detroit Pistons
Record: 11-7
Grade: B
The Detroit Pistons have certainly over-performed to a certain extent this season. Coming into the season, not much was expected from the Pistons and there were more questions than answers when it came to their roster.
However, through the first 18 games, there is some promise for a team that is beginning to look more and more like a potential playoff team in the Eastern Conference this season. Led by the exceptional play of Blake Griffin, the Pistons currently have the 5th best record in the East.
Look for Detroit to be active in the trade market, if something comes of substance. This is a team that should look to add in an attempt to solidify their place in the top 8 of the East.
