Detroit Pistons: 3 biggest weaknesses of the Pistons roster
The Detroit Pistons might lead the league in turnovers
The Detroit Pistons turned the ball over a ton last season, something we talked a lot about as it was costing them games.
The reason coaches focus on this so much is that turnovers lead to run outs, which lead to easy buckets on the other end. Detroit was an offensively challenged team last season who was 29th in field goal attempts partially because they turned the ball over so much.

The Pistons were 25th in the NBA in turnovers last season, with guys like Killian Hayes and Josh Jackson leading the way.
I can’t see this problem getting a whole lot better, as the Pistons will have another rookie point guard in Cade Cunningham, whose biggest weakness might be turning the ball over.
I expect Cunningham to go through some growing pains, and Hayes and Jackson are still going to be problematic in that area as well.
In other words, the Detroit Pistons might fall even further down this list if some of their young players don’t clean up their handles. I expect we’ll see some sloppy basketball early on and the Pistons could very well lead the league in turnovers next season.
