Analyzing Detroit Pistons' Performance


The previous season's analytics reveal a mixed bag for the Detroit Pistons. Despite playing all 82 games, their field goal and three-point percentages stood at zero percent, indicating a significant area for improvement. However, they excelled in free throws, two-point shots, and fast breaks—all recorded at one hundred percent efficiency—showcasing their potential in specific aspects of the game.


With an average of 109.9 points per game complemented by 25.5 assists and 43.33 rebounds, the Pistons demonstrated their ability to score and share the ball effectively. Their defensive efforts were highlighted by averaging nearly 4.68 blocks and 6.48 steals per game, though managing personal fouls (averaging around 20) and turnovers (14.65 per game) will be crucial against a team like Phoenix Suns.
