Former NBA star Rip Hamilton believes that the Detroit Pistons need to add some veteran experience to their roster to help their young players develop and become a winning team.

Hamilton, who played nine seasons for the Pistons and was part of their 2004 championship team, said that the team has a lot of young talent, but they need some veterans to show them the way and help them develop the right habits. He believes that the Pistons need to find some veterans who can play key roles on the court and also be good mentors for the younger players.

"You got to get older fast," said Hamilton in an interview with Sportskeeda. "In the NBA, it is hard to win when you are young. We got a lot of young guys on our team, we got a young nucleus. And I tell people all the time, we got to be patient. You are not going to win overnight."

Hamilton also said that the Pistons need to be patient with their young players and not expect them to win overnight. He believes that the team will need some time to develop and learn how to play together.

The Pistons have a lot of potential, but they need to make some changes if they want to be a playoff contender. Hamilton believes that adding some veteran experience is the first step in the right direction.

"You see the high lottery picks, you see Cade Cunningham just came off a serious injury last season and now being back in the fold, new coach, new system, new structure… it will take time," said Hamilton.

The Pistons' season has been plagued by injuries, with several key players sidelined for extended periods. This has made it difficult for the team to find its rhythm and develop any consistency.

Despite the challenges, Hamilton is still optimistic about the Pistons' future. He believes that the team has the talent to be a winner, but it will take some time and patience to get there.

"They are trying to figure out what pieces fit. Trying to put the right veteran guys and kind of showing them the way… I think that is something that is missed, that is really needed especially when you want to bring a winning culture to any organization," said the three-time NBA All-Star.

Hamilton knows that the road to success will not be easy for the Pistons, but he believes that they have the potential to make a lot of noise in the years to come.
