Are those in shoes?

If so they look spot on from what we've seen in the past. Except Blake. I'm surprised he's 6'10." I always heard he was closer to 6'8"

I actually think the roster looks pretty decent and should surprise some people by making the playoffs seeing as nobody seems to have them making it.

Of course you never know with the Pistons if they can play good consistently

Always looked 6’10” to me. He and Drummond look pretty damn close to the same height, with Drummond appearing to be just a bit taller.

Yeah, but that’s part of how you assess how the team will finish. Will they play consistently when they’ve shown they’re capable of inconsistency? Will everyone stay healthy when they have a history of injuries? etc. There’s a difference between capability and likelihood.

I’m capable of shooting a hole in one; I got one this summer (thankfully my boss was with me and it was foursome so two other witnesses as well :)). But it’s completely likely that I’ll never get another one in my life, and I golf a lot.

And yes, that was totally a shameless segue into my hole in one. 8-)

It's a sign - this is the year! The only question is who we'll play in the Finals.

So the moral of the story is: the Pistons have a punchers chance and this season could be their “hole in one”?
