Projecting the Pistons’ 2025-26 Starting Lineup: Who Joins Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren?
In this episode of the Palace of Pistons Podcast, Mike Anguilano and Aaron Johnson break down what the Detroit Pistons’ starting lineup could look like for the 2025-26 NBA season. With Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren locked into starting roles, the duo debates who will fill out the rest of the rotation.
Will Jaden Ivey reclaim his spot in the backcourt? Can Caris LeVert or Duncan Robinson provide enough veteran impact to start? What does Ausar Thompson’s development mean for his role? And is it a lock that Tobias Harris will start at one of the forward spots?
Tune in as the guys analyze the roster, potential combinations, and what it all means for Detroit’s future.

How do you think Harris deserves a starting spot and not Ivey ? SMH he’s old and we need a 4 more than a 2
The time is now for Trajan to do is damn job and acquire pf that's not old, can score and play against bigger pf.
Mike always talking Cavs guy going crazy right now 😂
U can sign Beasley now for 7,2 mio and an annual raise of 5 percent ! No longer investigation 🎉
What are the odds that by the end of the year they view Thompson as our power forward and Tobias becomes his backup?
Start Stew at 4 !!!! Make it work
Ausar and Tobi for sure, and the fifth starter should be Duncan Robinson as the Hardaway replacement. That lineup just won't work without his movement shooting and resulting gravity.
