With Blake Griffin on the bench, that’s given rise to DR. DOOM aka Sekou Doumbouya - we’ll cover what’s impressed us so far with the rookie. And last, but certainly not least - we’ll tackle the 6’11 elephant in the room - Andre Drummond. It’s almost a guarantee that he’ll be traded in the next month - what should Detroit expect in return? Who’s a realistic trading partner? And what does a trade mean for the Pistons’ near future? All that and more in this week’s episode!

13 DEC 2019 · In this week's episode of Inside The Cylinder, we discuss the Pistons recent "surge". They've won four of their last six games: is this a sign that the season may turnaround? Or is it more reflective on their quality of opponent? We'll also discuss Reggie Jackson's impending return - he'll be re-evaluated in the next couple of days, and could get back on court as early as next week. How will this affect the Pistons line-ups? Who's minutes are going to decrease? And should Jackson come off the bench?

Detroit's in a tough situation when it comes to a rebuild for a variety of reasons, but does that mean they should continue with this team as is? And what would a rebuild even look like?
