Training camps get started in a couple of weeks, preseason games begin in early October, and before we know it the Pistons will open their season on October 26th in Canada against the Toronto Raptors.

That means that it’s prediction season. Projections of win totals, awards and hot takes are going to be inundating you soon from all directions. Don’t worry about those.
