Only two franchises have gone from league-worst to the playoffs

The Detroit Pistons have officially closed the door on season three under Troy Weaver. They finish with another season unable to crack more than 20 wins — the fourth consecutive for the franchise. They avoided tying a franchise-worst season by one win with 17 in the W column.

Armed with yet another top-five selection and ample cap space to make an offseason splash, Weaver and his executive team (welcome, Dwane Casey) are equipped to bolster the roster as they prepare to rise up the standings in the 2023-24 campaign. Part of the rationale for replacing Casey as head coach was that the team had the resources to add talent, had a solid young base, was ready to win consistently, and a new voice would help in that effort.
