In our review of the past day’s news and events on Piston Powered, we projected the Detroit Pistons’ player ratings for the upcoming NBA 2K17, and we covered both Piston assistant coach Tim Hardaway‘s current legal situation and SI’s projection of Andre Drummond as a top-ranked Olympian in the 2020 Games with Team USA.

With no further ado, let’s get started.

Projecting the Detroit Pistons’ NBA 2K17 player ratings

By Duncan Smith

"Since there’s nothing 2K players can do but wait for the next four weeks or so for the release of the game, we’re going to build the anticipation for fans of the Detroit Pistons (at least the ones who plan on playing the game) with our player rating projections for the entire roster.The Pistons entered the beginning of last season (both in the real world and the 2K world) rated lower than their actual performance would warrant, so we’re going to go over each player’s 2K16 opening and closing rating, as well as what we expect them to be rated in 2K17."
