After coaching two all-time greats in Kevin Durant and Chris Paul, and a few flourishing young stars, this will be a completely different atmosphere altogether. The Detroit Pistons were the worst team in the NBA last season. Even though they lay at the bottom, Motor City failed to secure a top-four pick in the upcoming draft.
