The Detroit Pistons feature a remarkably young core, with their top players all aged 24 or younger. This includes Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart (both 24), along with Ausar Thompson and Jaden Ivey (both 23). Rounding out this youthful lineup are Jalen Duren at 22 and Holland at 20. While immediate Eastern Conference contention may not be on the horizon, it's unfair to label them as pretenders. The team possesses valuable draft picks, expiring contracts, and significant cap flexibility. This strategic approach positions them to emulate the successful youth-led rebuild seen with the Oklahoma City Thunder. DetroitPistons NBAYouth CadeCunningham JalenDuren NBA
