Detroit Pistons - Power Ranking

Week Rank Rating Team Record Comment

3 19 29 Det 5-8 The Hanged Man: Represents surrender, pause, and seeing things from a new angle. Change occurs through letting go. The Pistons went all Elsa and 'Let it Go', leaning heavily into a gut and rebuild. Trae out, Ace in and lots of questionable coaching moves. Sheed has increased his activity as of late; new Pistons era approaching?

2 23 16 Det 3-6 The Pistons at #23 are definitely, absolutely, unquestionably not tanking — no sir, not even a little. Losing games by 8, starting a rotation that feels like a G League all-star draft, and giving heavy ‘player development’ minutes to everyone under 25? Pure coincidence.

1 19 12 Det 2-3 Childhood Reference: Nerf sword kid. Detroit swings wildly, with Marcus Smart leading the charge like the kid who brought foam weapons to recess. Who knew tha the Pistons had all this going on!? You might think your weapon is good, but Detroit asked for the Nerf Doomsday Bunker starter pack - and they aren't messing around with their perimeter defence. "Where is he!?" - as you get hit in the forehead, dead centre.
