Thoughts on Pistons

The choice is to try to use a few of the current players or start completely over.
If they try to reform, next year's core might be Rose Mykhailuk Wood. Did great (+15/100p) in about 250 minutes. If season resumes, try to use another 250 to assess further and try to identify the right other 2 guys.
In short minutes Kennard Mykhailuk is looking good, Kennard Wood mildly negative. Got to try them more.
Kennard Griffin is positive if Griffin returns.
Wood appears much better at center. Griffin Wood was great... in a way too small 55 minutes. Give that a big test.
Trade Snell if you can. Don't re-sign Galloway unless he is cheap. Let Maker walk unless near the minimum as project / deep bench insurance. Don't use him much if trying to win next season. I'd probably trade Bruce Brown if you can get something back. I might keep Henson depending on health and price.
Should they continue to play slow? My instant guess is no but I haven't looked closely.
They are average at a number of things but have almost no real strengths. How much to focus on fixing weaknesses vs. developing strengths? It depends on goals / timeline and opportunities.
Probably draft a bigger PG. Haliburton or Hayes. Absolutely not Ball or Anthony.
Free agency? Maybe later.
New Coach? Depends if you are tanking. I would within 2 years for sure. Add some new scouts.
