Detroit Pistons: Monty Williams may have his next Ricky Rubio

The Detroit Pistons hired head coach Monty Williams to take them to the next level as a franchise.

Williams has a history of turning teams around, as he did at his last stop in Phoenix. The Suns had won just 19 games the season before Williams took over, and he got them up to 34 wins in his first season as head coach.

The Detroit Pistons won just 17 games this past season, so Williams will once again be tasked with fixing the worst team in the NBA. If the Pistons were to win 34 games next season, I think most fans would be happy, as it would be a sign that this franchise is finally heading in the right direction after so many years of tanking.
