The Detroit Pistons went out and got two very good free agents in Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. These two players were expected to help the pistons get back to form and become the dominating team they have been for the last ten years. Instead the free agents who have helped them more is former Detroit Piston Ben Wallace and surprisingly Chucky Atkins has done a very good job when playing. Another Unexpected playing who has done very well is rookie Jonas Jerebko. He is a rookie from Europe and he has had to log a lot of minutes and has been very good. Two more players have been disappointing with Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva are Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince. They have both been injured for a lot of the year but even when they are playing they are not doing good. Neither is living up to the expectations they have created for themselves the past few years. Having four players who were expected to do very well do poor does not help a team be good. With these disappointments the Detroit Pistons have a 20-35 record and are far from a playoff team. In most games the Pistons do not compete and they lose to many teams they shouldn’t lose to. The Detroit Pistons have many problems that one offseason could solve if the players start to play they can. If the four disappointing players live up to the expectations they will be a very good team next year. After they add the inevitable lottery pick player in the offseason they could turn into a good team again. These are two important things in the Pistons turn around. It is all up to their veterans to get back to the way they can play. They have no chance to make the playoffs this year but next year is another story.
