29. Detroit Pistons

Last Week’s Ranking: 30

The Pistons picked up their second win of the season in a thriller against the Suns. Jerami Grant led them in overtime to victory. He scored eight of his 31 points to close Phoenix out. Over the week, he averaged 28.5 points and 7.0 rebounds and shot 44.4 percent from three. Unfortunately for Detroit, that production was only able to produce the one win for the week and second for the whole season. 

To make matters worse for the Pistons, they lost rookie Killian Hayes for an undetermined amount of time to a labral tear in his hip. It’s a big blow to their plans for his development, as he may be out for months. 

The one good news on the rookie front for Detroit has been Saddiq Bey. He continued his solid play last week, averaging 12.8 points while connecting on 40.7 percent from three. Bey was the team’s second-leading scorer over the last four games.
