13. Detroit Pistons

There may not be a bottom three team that I’m more excited about heading into this season than the Detroit Pistons. The trio of Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, and Jalen Duren should have Pistons fans excited about the future possibilities. And the hope is that we begin to see some flashes this season.

Cade came on during the end of last season and Ivey and Duren flashed during their time during NBA Summer League. They are only going to get better and will be featured for the team this season.

This year will prove to be invaluable for the Pistons and we’re going to get a preview of what this team can be in a few years. Again, they will likely be subjected to plenty of losses this season, but the future seems to be in good hands.
