In Part 2 of my conversation with Zariq, a credentialed NBA photographer and Detroit Pistons media member, we break down the Eastern Conference hierarchy and discuss where the Pistons belong among the top teams in the East.
We examine which teams are clearly ahead of Detroit, which Eastern Conference contender may be overrated and which team could make the biggest jump next season. We also discuss whether the Pistons have done enough to remain near the top of the conference and what they still need to prove.
Later, we turn our attention to Jalen Duren and the latest contract extension talks. What could his next deal look like, how much should Detroit be willing to pay and what would a long-term extension mean for the Pistons’ roster construction moving forward?
