The Detroit Pistons had a rough season this past year. They actually ended the season at the bottom of the NBA. But, now the team has a new coach in Monty Williams. Some think a rebuild is impossible. But, if the Detroit Lions can do it, the Detroit Pistons can do it. Now, one USA Today writer believes the Detroit Pistons could win in 2024 and be a championship team again.

In a new article titled "7 NBA teams most likely to end their championship drought in 2024, ranked," Robert Zeglinski names the Pistons at No. 7 on the list.

"The Pistons haven't won a title since the Rasheed Wallace-Chauncey Billups era," Zeglinski writes. "That's a shame considering the culture of Detroit (pretend I’m saying it for emphasis) basketball. I don’t necessarily think the Pistons will be a title contender overnight. But hiring Monty Wiliams to maximize a promising core of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey makes this a fascinating squad to watch."

He adds, and this is the really awesome part, that "the Pistons could be a force to be reckoned with, and soon." Read his full take on why the Detroit Pistons could win in 2024 and the other teams that could bring the heat here.
