Even though Tracy McGrady used to be one of the best players in the league, it appears to be questionable whether his impact on the Pistons will go beyond selling merchandise at this point of his career. Given the fact that McGrady was the only addition to Detroit's lottery team this summer, basketball fans from Michigan might have to get mentally ready for another year at the bottom of the league. Nonetheless, the Detroit Pistons will try to overcome Michael Beasley and the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday at 11:30 p.m. GMT.

Considering that the Timberwolves' front-office received a lot of criticism for their failed experiment with Al Jefferson and the ongoing issues with Ricky Rubio, very few expected Minnesota to showcase exciting up-tempo basketball in the preseason. After all, the Wolves posted an awful 15-67 record last year and subsequently traded former franchise centerpiece Al Jefferson for little more than a few draft picks. Yet, Minnesota's off-season acquisitions all seem to be great fits, especially Michael Beasley who has been averaging 17.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Likewise, former Portland Trail Blazer Martell Webster has been spectacular, putting up no less than 20.5 points and 3.5 boards per contest. Thus, the Timberwolves have a reasonable shot at securing another preseason win when they host the Pistons on Friday night.
