Good Landing Spot: Detroit Pistons

Similar to the Portland Trail Blazers, the Detroit Pistons have the optimal roster construction for Chet Holmgren to flourish in his rookie year.

If the Pistons retain Jerami Grant, they’d have a strong frontcourt consisting of Grant, Holmgren, and Isaiah Stewart if they draft Chet.

“Beef Stew,” like Nurk, would handle the opposing bruisers and allow Holmgren to use his length, instincts, and timing to disrupt offenses as a free safety help defender for the Pistons’ defense.

Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey, Jerami Grant, and Killian Hayes will handle most of the Pistons’ playmaking and shot creation duties and allow Holmgren to focus on getting himself open rather than creating for himself and other.

With Holmgren, the Pistons would suddenly have a pretty bright future brewing in the Motor City, and they’re slated to be in perfect position to take him in the draft barring some unexpectedly poor lottery luck or some other team being extremely high on Chet as a prospect.
