Ausar Thompson is already a terrifying athlete in the open floor, but refining his ball-handling could immediately take his scoring game to another level.

If he learns to handle the rock in traffic and consistently finish at the rim, can the young wing turn into an unguardable problem?

Draymond Green believes Jalen Duren ultimately stays in Detroit.

Speaking on Duren’s restricted free agency situation, Draymond said there is real value in continuity, winning and having a place start to feel like home.

He also acknowledged that Duren could bet on himself, take the qualifying offer and enter unrestricted free agency later.

But in Draymond’s eyes, that might not be the best outcome for anyone involved.

His prediction?

“Ultimately I think he’s back with the Pistons.”

For Detroit, keeping Duren would mean preserving one of the key young pieces of the team’s core.

Now it comes down to whether both sides can find the number that makes sense.

Duncan Robinson is getting some SERIOUS shooting praise. 🎯

Former Heat teammate Max Strus believes Robinson belongs in the same conversation as Stephen Curry when it comes to pure shooting.

“Duncan’s got it. One of the best I’ve ever seen. I think he’s up there with Steph Curry, to be honest with you: phenomenal.

You go watch him work out in a shooting drill or just in a shooting workout; he doesn’t miss. The makes are just so pure.”

Robinson is bringing that elite shooting to the Detroit Pistons, who added more perimeter firepower this offseason.

If Strus is right, Detroit may have a shooter operating in the Curry arc. 🔥

Cade Cunningham is a future MVP.

Cade Cunningham’s job just got bigger.

With Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart gone, the Pistons lost two of their biggest locker-room voices.

Now, Cade is the team’s longest-tenured player at just 24 years old.

After two straight All-NBA seasons, the next step is becoming Detroit’s unquestioned vocal leader.

He’s already showing it this offseason by organizing team workouts and working with younger players.

Cade can’t carry everything alone.

But if Detroit wants to build on a 60-win season, they’ll need their superstar to lead in more ways than one.

Paul Reed just secured the bag in Detroit 💰🔥

The Pistons have fully guaranteed Reed’s $5.6 million salary for the 2026-27 season, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.

“In Pistons center news, sources say Detroit has fully guaranteed Paul Reed’s $5.6 million salary for this upcoming 2026-27 season.”

After averaging 7.8 PPG and 4.5 RPG across 65 games last season, Reed remains an important piece of Detroit’s center rotation.

With Isaiah Stewart now in Memphis, the Pistons are banking on Reed to keep making an impact off the bench.

BIG MONEY STANDOFF IN MOTOR CITY.

Per ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel:

“[The Pistons] want to bring Jalen Duren back and they want to do it on their terms, on a contract somewhere in the $30-35 million range…Jalen Duren wants more.

He wants something north of $40 million annually.”

As restricted free agency looms, the gap between both sides sets up a high-stakes decision for the franchise's future core.

Is Jalen Duren worth $40M+ per year, Pistons fans?
