  "account": "The Detroit Pistons, led by Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren, showcased their effectiveness in the low post last season. Power forward John Collins, ranked No. 1 in post-up points per possession with 1.27, is set to join the squad. Collins' strong post-up skills, particularly within the 0-5 foot range, are complemented by a 56.5% shooting percentage from 10-14 feet. His addition to the roster will provide the Pistons with greater versatility, as he can both space the floor and provide efficient mid-range shooting. Collins' youth and highlight-reel finishing abilities make him an attractive option for the Pistons' high-octane offense.",
  "summary": "The Detroit Pistons made a tactical lineup change this offseason with John Collins expected to start at the four now that Tobias Harris is in San Antonio",
