The Pistons made a lot of changes to their bench this offseason as key veterans from last season’s team departed in free agency and new additions were brought in. But the core of the team remains largely the same - the team has the same projected starting lineup as it would have had if healthy last season, and stability in the front office and coaching staff. For the first time in a long time, the Pistons are going into a season without massive overhaul.
Stability is rare but valuable in the NBA
This will be the Pistons’ first time entering the season with a returning head coach in four years.
