On today's episode of 3 Championship Drive, Lance Caporossi predicts the Detroit Pistons' starting lineup and bench rotation for the 2026-27 NBA season.
After a 60-win season and an offseason focused on adding more shooting, Detroit has plenty of questions surrounding its rotation. Where do the new additions fit, and which players could see their roles change?
Lance takes a closer look at Isaiah Joe's role in Detroit and asks whether the sharpshooting guard can increase his scoring average with the Pistons. Could Joe take the next step offensively and eventually earn a starting spot?
And that leads to one of the biggest rotation battles of the season: Can Isaiah Joe beat Duncan Robinson for the starting shooting guard job? Robinson started all 77 games he played for Detroit last season and averaged 12.2 points while shooting 41.0% from three, but Joe brings another elite shooting option to a team that desperately wanted to improve its perimeter offense.
Lance also asks whether Duncan Robinson could become a trade candidate during the 2026-27 season if Joe proves capable of replacing his production.
