For the first time all season, the Pistons’ three first-round draft picks started the game together. And it was sure fun to watch.

Isaiah Stewart was a man among boys even at only 19 years old. He was unstoppable on the boards, grabbing 22 rebounds, the most by a Pistons rookie since at least 1977. He added 15 points, many due to his work on the offensive boards. But at least two of those points came via a smooth mid-range jumper that is becoming commonplace from the rookie big.
