The NBA off-season is finally calming down after  historic months filled with massive rosters overhauled. Let’s dive into each Detroit Pistons player career.

The NBA is a tough business. Getting drafted or signed is no small task, it takes a lot of work and journey is long.

There are 30 NBA Teams and each team holds a 15-man roster availability. That’s a total of 450 players and there are thousands of young adults who pursue a dream of playing in the best basketball league in the world.

Simply put its the best of the best only.

The league is filled with rosters that possess plenty of undrafted players who made their way to starting lineups or even became actual All-Stars. No matter the route each player took to achieve his dream, getting there is all that matters.

It’s important that each Pistons player takes the time to look back on their journey full of blood, sweat, and tears to make it into the league . The rarity of making it in the NBA is real. Only 0.03% of high school players make it to the NBA, according to Lamar Hall of InspirationalBasketball.com.

The pistons have a very diverse roster filled with different cultural backgrounds. The folks at PistonsPowered thought it be cool to give background of how they got to the NBA.

This slideshow presents a detailed description of each players road to the NBA. Time to touch on everything from high school rankings, college programs each player played for and what each player brings to the current Pistons Roster.
