The NBA and the Detroit Pistons are finally back as we're going to break down multiple huge updates heading into game one of the season versus the Boston Celtics with injury updates and multiple other things, including a huge move made by the Detroit Pistons with a young, inspiring player. We're going to break down everything you need to know, not only heading into this game, but the forecast of the future of this team, plus so much more in this episode. You're not going to want to miss it. Let's just dive straight into it today. where yes the NBA is back but before we get into updates around the game I wanted to dive into that the Detroit Pistons have picked up the 2027-28 rookie skill team option for Ron Holland which will pay the young player 11.5 million dollars next season and under contract this season of course but looking at Ron Holland an incredible player someone that is truly looking at a huge year a big year for the young kid as he continues to develop a defensive menace with a bit of an offensive game of course the shooting at 25.3 percent needs to go up quite a bit but looking at Ron Holland and what he brings to this team is someone that progressively gets better looking at 24 25 6.4 points per game jumping to 8.2 this past season four rebounds every statistic for Ron holland including the shooting went up a tiny bit but this is an Azara Thompson light in the making and the detroit pistons have incredible players Cade Cunningham of course but with ron holland i'm excited to see how he cements himself into not only this rotation but the future of this team we've seen the trade reports linking RJ Barrett for ron holland but listen teams wish they had someone like ron holland and we have someone like him because we have him so fans let me know your thoughts on Ron Holland down below what are your thoughts on his development but let's just dive straight into the game today where we get our first update coming through on of course an injury for the Pistons or at least a player that will not be attending the game Torin Prince personal reasons is out today for the Pistons 3 p.m opener no other injuries on the main roster so the only player being added to of course the injury list is none other than Torin Prince who has just acquired this offseason with Gary Harris of course coming back in the trade from the Milwaukee Bucks for Caris LeVert.

stuff check out Kelsey using a link in the description but let's continue back into of course the Detroit Pistons now home game at Little Caesars Arena today at 3 p.m eastern this is a team that of course is looking to bounce back after a devastating loss in the playoffs in the second round to the Cleveland Cavaliers with the availability watch of course Prince is questionable and not playing in this game due to personal reasons a couple of guys are going to be assigned to two ways so we'll not be playing and with the Detroit Pistons we finally get to see new faces within this team that were just picked up this offseason debut for the team including John Collins who looks incredible the 45 cuts behind his defenders when teams are mesmerized by Jalen Duren and Cade Cunningham in a PNR this is going to be a huge unlocking point for not only Cade Cunningham having another lob threat but the spacing next to Jalen Duren as well as John Collins was an incredible shooter just last season with of course the Los Angeles Clippers you have new faces joining the team Isaiah Joe is going to be a knockdown shooter Abu Okobo I'm hoping gets some minutes during this game Kevin Herter was brought back within the team Paul Reed gets a bigger opportunity and looking at the minutes down the wing it's going to get interesting on how this is going to open up we know Isaiah Thompson worked on his game this offseason we've seen in the preseason with more primary ball handling and a guy shooting with confidence with this team now with prince out of the lineup it kind of sucks because i was looking forward to see how he joined the team and i'm expecting ron holland just to fill in for the minutes that we would have got with Prince last year limited games played when it came to the Milwaukee Bucks Prince put up nine three and two with good shooting from 45 from the field all the way to 34 33.6 when it came to three-point shooting this just adds another body that can space the floor something the Pistons need last year desperately and something that Cade Cunningham is going to thrive with a player that of course went out last season and had an incredible year an MVP caliber year the man that went out with almost 10 assists per game his numbers are going to continue to get better and you want to play against the best and that's exactly what he's doing tonight i've seen Celtics fans go out to see that Jason Tatum's better than him it's blasphemy what we're going to see out of this man this year is going to truly show why fans and the media don't understand that this is the best player in the NBA 24 points five and a half rebounds basically 10 assists 56.4 percent true shooting 46 34 81 splits this is a player that of course the biggest story around him in the playoffs and it's not even to his demise this is a player that had a decent few turnovers last year 3.7 we know this went up in the playoffs but this was due to a lack of spacing teams could kind of pack the paint and make it hard for Cade to kind of work get to the rim score and pass the ball now with the spacing added it's going to be interesting on how this team works and how this team can do it when a Cade comes off the floor does Asar step in and immediately take over as the primary ball handler when we see Cade go off is Jenkins going to step in with that second tier of his game that we haven't seen yet the last season was an incredible breakout but looking at this Piston team with and without Cade Cunningham on the floor the net rating with him on the floor of course is 10.9 which is an 8.4 difference with him off the floor offensive ratings plus 7.6 with him on the floor defensive rating of course drops a tiny bit but star players coming off the floor is probably matchup depending and guys like Shea aren't on the floor when Cade's not so of course the defense and scoring is going to drop a little bit when it goes to that end but the big thing is it's not only Cade but I want to see how the shooting looks and how Duncan Robinson can cement himself I've seen a lot of talk of people speaking on maybe you're looking at Duncan Robinson coming off the bench for Isaiah Joe or even Ausar Thompson, I've seen those comments but looking at of course Duncan Robinson and coming in versus Boston I'm looking at another big game where of course last season he struggled a tiny bit and I shouldn't say struggled still 15 points versus them on the 19th this is a guy that's going to continue knocking down his shots and someone that complements Cade very well looking at the games versus Boston 15-3-2 and of course 5-11 he's going to hoist which is exactly why he's such a crucial part for this team but again I'm gonna fly through some updates on this team because of course there's a lot to look at the Boston Celtics of course going in are a good team they fire threes up like hell coming down this is a team that the Detroit Pistons need to limit the offense when it comes to firing up threes getting their own boards and of course their transition game something the Pistons are going to do very well against but looking at last season and of course this team Duncan Robinson last year averaged 14.8 when it came to his last five games now of course a lot of the end of the games we see guys hoist enough we've seen guys like Kenny Lofton put up I believe it was 50 points one time for the Memphis Grizzlies so I don't like looking at the last five but Duncan Robinson not the same will be a big part heading into the year of course with the Detroit Pistons and diving into the ratings what we know from the Pistons last season defense is immaculate with one in steals first in blocks field goal percentage sitting in three the three and the free throw percentage of course a little low but with the moves they made with the point margin this is a team that's going to progressively get better fans I want to know your thoughts down below what is your thoughts on not only all these new players stepping in Kate Cunningham continuing his dominance what's your thoughts on Jalen Durham working on his face-up game is this someone that's going to give Keta a hard time is Mitchell Robinson even going to be able to keep up with the pace of not only this guy John Collins i didn't even talk about Paul Reed in this episode b-ball ball is going to tear up fans i want to know your thoughts on everything down in the comments we're hours away from tip-off and i'm so excited that detroit basketball is back fans let me know what's your projection on the final score on this season who leads them in scoring this game i love reading through each and every comment if you can't tell i'm pretty fired up i hope you guys are as well take care Pistons fans go detroit basketball and i'll see you in the next one
