Bobi Klintman

DET Power Forward

Bobi Klintman shot 4-of-8 from three in Monday’s win over Houston, finishing with 18 points (7-of-13 FGs), nine rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 32 minutes.

After hitting three 3-pointers in his summer debut on Saturday, Klintman was even better on Monday. The second-round pick hit four triples and was also a factor on the boards, leading the Pistons with nine rebounds. Through two summer league games, Klintman has proven to be the jump-shooting big the previous Pistons regime hoped to make Isaiah Stewart. If the Pistons were to move one of their big men via trade, Klintman could have considerable fantasy value as a rookie.
Daniss Jenkins

DET Point Guard

Daniss Jenkins tallied 26 points (8-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks, and six 3-pointers in 27 minutes in Monday’s 87-73 win over the Rockets.

Having agreed to a two-way contract shortly after the conclusion of last month’s draft, Jenkins was outstanding in Monday’s win over the Rockets. In addition to his scoring prowess, the former St. John’s guard also had an impact defensively. Jenkins is on a two-way contract, and the Pistons have multiple young guards in which they’ve invested, so making an impact in fantasy basketball as a rookie will be difficult. But he’s made the most of his opportunity thus far.
Bobi Klintman

DET Power Forward

Bobi Klintman finished Saturday’s loss to Philadelphia with 13 points (5-of-10 FGs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers in 28 minutes.

The Pistons have a bit of a logjam in the frontcourt with young big men, but Klintman is a player who fantasy managers should not sleep on. He possesses the perimeter shooting ability the previous Pistons regime hoped to get out of Isaiah Stewart. With Beef Stew and Jalen Duren under contract and Paul Reed in the equation, the rookie may need one of those veterans to be traded to reach his full fantasy potential next season.
Ron Holland

DET Small Forward

Ron Holland accumulated 15 points (5-of-15 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocked shots in 24 minutes in Saturday’s 94-81 loss to the 76ers.

Holland’s most significant weakness at this stage is the perimeter shot, which could be about a lack of confidence instead of poor mechanics. The rookie only attempted two 3-pointers on Saturday, but his explosive athletic ability put Holland in a position to crack the 76ers’ defense off the dribble. The hiring of assistant coach Fred Vinson wasn’t made solely with Holland in mind, but working with the shooting guru can help the rookie moving forward.
Paul Reed

DET Power Forward #44

The Pistons have claimed Paul Reed off waivers, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Reed was waived by the 76ers a few days ago, and now he’ll land in Detroit with two years left on his contract. Reed was once seen as a high upside player, but he was disappointing last season. He’ll have a chance to change the narrative in Detroit, though it won’t be easy with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart in front of him. He shouldn’t be on the radar for fantasy managers heading into next season, but he is still worth a stash in dynasty formats.
Simone Fontecchio

DET Small Forward #19

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pistons and Simone Fontecchio have agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal.

Fontecchio began last season with the Jazz before he was moved to Detroit at the February trade deadline. In 16 appearances for the Pistons, he averaged 15.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals, and 2.7 3-pointers in 30.3 minutes. Fontecchio’s 3-point shooting ability should get him consistent minutes on a now-healthy Pistons squad, as that skill is a severe need. He may not be worth drafting in standard leagues, but there will be times when Fontecchio is worth streaming.
Malik Beasley

DET Shooting Guard #5

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Beasley is signing a one-year with Detroit deal worth $6 million.

Beasley is moving on from the Bucks after a one-year stint that saw him bumped from the starting lineup in Milwaukee. His fantasy outlook isn’t great given that Detroit added Tim Hardaway Jr. to a cluster of guards that includes Jaden Ivey and Cade Cunningham.
Tobias Harris

DET Small Forward #12

Tobias Harris has agreed to a two-year, $52 million deal with Detroit, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Harris’ time in Philly has officially come to a close, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. Harris returns to Detroit, which is where he played from 2016-18. He’ll provide them with a veteran floor spacer that can create his own shot as they look to shift the culture to a winning organization under J.B. Bickerstaff. He should slot in as the team’s starting power forward.
Cade Cunningham

DET Point Guard #2

Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that Cade Cunningham will sign a five-year, $226 million rookie extension with the Pistons.

Cunningham appeared in only 12 games in his second season due to a heel injury, but he bounced back and appeared in 62 games in 2023-24. Cunningham averaged 22.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.9 three-pointers, shooting 44.9% from the floor, 86.9% from the charity stripe and 35.5% from beyond the arc. Aside from the rebounds, the other numbers and the percentages were career highs for the Oklahoma State product. Availability will be a concern for Cunningham, but when healthy, he’s a stat-stuffer with early-round upside in fantasy hoops.
J.B. Bickerstaff

DET Head Coach

The Pistons have hired J.B. Bickerstaff to be the team’s new head coach, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

After taking over the Cavs to close out the 2019-20 season, Bickerstaff spent four years leading Cleveland, which included two playoff appearances. However, they let him go this summer after they lost to Boston in the second round. He will now take over a Pistons team that has been at the bottom of the league for the last few years. He’ll try and repeat what he did with the Cavs and develop a talented lottery team into a squad that makes the postseason.
