    Detroit Pistons: 5 Players Who Could Make the Biggest Impact in 2026-27 + Ebuka Okorie vs. Ron Holland
    Oct 14 2026
    On this episode of 3 Championship Drive, Lance Caporossi breaks down which Detroit Pistons players have the potential to make the biggest impact during the 2026-27 NBA season. Lance ranks Ebuka Okorie, Ron Holland, Paul Reed, Kevin Huerter, and Isaiah Joe from 1 to 5, examining each player's role, strengths, and potential to help the Pistons take the next step.

    Lance also discusses why he's buying more stock in rookie guard Ebuka Okorie over Ron Holland. Is Okorie's ability to create his own shot the rare offensive skill that could separate him from a typical role player and turn him into a legitimate impact player? Or will Holland's athleticism, defensive versatility, and potential offensive development make him more valuable to Detroit?

    With Cade Cunningham leading the way, the Pistons will need contributions from their supporting cast to build on their success. Which players will step up, earn minutes, and become key pieces of Detroit's rotation this season?
