The Surprising Defensive Stars Poised to Rewrite the 2025 NBA Playoff Storyline
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons are the feel-good story of the season, but they also might be the poster children for this exercise.
Detroit finished the regular season ranked 10th in defensive efficiency, but both Cade Cunningham and Tim Hardaway Jr. are players whom opponents will target. Malik Beasley will play a lot because of his tremendous shooting season, but he’s an even worse defender than Hardaway Jr. So is Simone Fontecchio.
Ronald Holland II has had a good defensive season for a rookie, but playing Ausar Thompson and Holland together for long stretches would cause massive issues on the offensive end.
