Pistons story lines: Difficult schedule, injuries and 3-point shooting

Detroit — Another season of NBA basketball is set to begin.

The Pistons have their season opener looming against the Orlando Magic to kick off the 2022-23 campaign, and there's even more excitement around the team than in previous years.

Dwane Casey, who's entering his fourth season as Pistons coach, doesn't want the team to use their youth as an excuse not to compete, but the group should be fun to watch, thanks to their explosive duo of athletic lottery picks in Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren. The team also has a few veterans to complement the young core, thanks to a few offseason trades by general manager Troy Weaver.
