The Detroit Pistons are back for year 3 of Troy Weaver’s “restoration” of a franchise that has spent more than a decade in the NBA wilderness. If not expectations, there is at least excitement and intrigue surrounding these Pistons for the first time in a long time.
The franchise appears to have a building block with the talent, maturity and gravity with building around in Cade Cunningham and has surrounded him with a number of young players that exemplify the Weaver Brand of player — hard-working, no-drama grinders who have high basketball IQs and support each other on and off the floor.
