The Detroit Pistons are in the infancy stages of a rebuild, but they have to be happy with their direction. Rising NBA star Cade Cunningham has lived up to his No. 1 overall pick stature. Realistically, nothing else matters in Motor City.

This team still has a long way to go. Their 23-57 record only attests to that.
