We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!

Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones are joined by Ku Khahil (LockedOnPistons) to discuss the league-best Detroit Pistons. The discussion ranges from the growth of Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson's shifting (and sometimes confusing) role offensively, JB Bickerstaff's impact, the Pistons' title chances and more.

From there, the guys have a conversation about Paolo Banchero -- and the conversation around Paolo Banchero. They discuss his strengths, his weaknesses, how Orlando's context impacts him, and if it's fair to question his place as a no-doubt-about-it building block.

Finally, Nekias reveals the rest of his Unrivaled award ballot (DPOY, Coach of the Year, All-Unrivaled Teams) to Steve as the two discuss a talented field of candidates.
