The Pindown: A Detroit Pistons Podcast

In this week’s episode, Inside the Cylinder is joined by NBA Draft entrant, future pro, and former Central Michigan University hooper, Braylon Rayson! Rayson is third all time in CMU scoring, and is coming off a senior season in which he averaged 21.2ppg, 4.4rpg and 3.1apg. He was apart of the electric backcourt duo that averaged 50+ppg this season (leading the NCAA in backcourt scoring).

 

The Dallas Texas native discussed his recruitment to Central Michigan, career as a Chippewa, pre-draft plans and upcoming pro career. We’ll also ask him about his favorite establishments at CMU, favorite sneakers, favorite basketball flick and more!

 

After our interview, David and Joey jump back into Pistons Land, and discuss the latest and greatest in Pistons News, former Pistons who made the playoffs, our beverage of choice, and Andre Drummond’s signature burger- The Dre Burger.

On this special episode of the Detroit Bad Boys podcast, Jordan Bellant and Ben Gulker are joined by Jacob Kuyvenhoven. The trio tackle the idea of comparing the Pistons roster to every playoff team's roster in the East.

Starting with the point guard spot, it pits Reggie Jackson against the other point guards in the East. The top four (Isaiah Thomas, Kyrie Irving, John Wall, and Kyle Lowry) make for a quick conversation, but also lead to inspecting the merits of Isaiah's career year and how to properly rank the PGs in the East. 

From there, it moves onto the teams ranked 5th through 9th in the Eastern Conference Standings. With questions like: Is Dennis Schroder good? Is Malcolm Brogdon your Rookie of the Year? And which version of Rondo do you use to compare? 

After point guard, it's time to talk KCP and the shooting guards. While Kentavious heads for an important summer, where does he really rank amongst two-guards in the East? Below Demar and Bradley, but who else?

Is he better than a two-way player like Avery Bradley? What about the cast of one-way players like J.R. Smith and Dion Waiters?

On this episode of the Detroit Bad Boys podcast, Jordan Bellant and Ben Gulker discuss the end of the season.

While disappointing, the final few games gave fans a different glimpse at the roster. Given that glimpse, Ben and Jordan break down what they spotted in the last five games. 

Starting with BOBAN! His play showed why he deserved a larger role and more minutes throughout the season. How does he change the distribution of minutes next season? What does his rise mean for Aron Baynes? Does Baynes even accept his option? 

From there, the conversation dives into the roster. Looking at players' full season production, Ben talks about the highs and lows of the year. From Jon Leuer to the guys on the fringe like Mr. Henry Ellenson. 

This pod closes on KCP and his future in Detroit. Heading into an important off-season, he is just one of the many potential moving parts. A quick preview of the offseason closes out the first of many offseason episodes!
