Detroit Pistons 1963-64 Roster and Stats

The 1963-64 Detroit Pistons struggled through a challenging NBA season, finishing with a record of 23-57. Under head coach Charles Wolf, the team found it difficult to maintain consistency and competitiveness in a league dominated by stronger franchises. The Pistons placed last in the Western Division, significantly trailing behind their competitors.

Key players like Bailey Howell and Ray Scott tried to carry the team with their individual performances. Howell, a forward, led the Pistons with impressive scoring and rebounding, while Scott provided additional support in the paint. Despite their efforts, the squad lacked the depth and cohesion needed to make a significant impact.

The team’s struggles were compounded by defensive weaknesses and an inability to close out games, which reflected in their poor overall record. This season underscored the need for the Pistons to bolster their roster and strategic approach in future years.

Regular Season Record: 23-57
Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
