A number of analysts have been highly critically in their assessment of where the Pistons stand heading into next season.
Most recently, Basketball Insiders ranked the Pistons fourth in the Central division, only putting them ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Similarly, they ranked 21st in the league according to ESPN’s Future Rankings, again lower than the Indiana Pacers and the Chicago Bulls who ranked 14th and 16th respectively.
Based on last season and what each team in the Central division has done during the offseason, it’s quite baffling to see the Pistons ranked so lowly in both the entire league and their division.
