The Detroit Pistons’ G League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise, will hold open tryouts with a $250 fee to find potentially hidden talents.
Anyone with the dream of making it to the NBA has some clear pathways to follow. Usually, it involves being a top-ranked high school player who plays in the NCAA or being a prodigious international prospect.
However, the G League is also a crucial tool. While it is mostly populated with young NBA players and some veterans hoping to get their shot, it might be the perfect way to find any hidden local talents.

Clip from Detroit Pistons’ 2025 G League affiliate tryouts goes viral
This is an annual tradition in the G League. This 2025 clip from Detroit’s tryout resurfaced after the recent announcement, highlighting the kind of talent that shows up at these tryouts.
(X post caption is untrue, as 2026 tryouts are yet to be held)
Although no real NBA talents come through in these tryouts, it gives people a chance to show their skills for a potential shot at living out their NBA dreams.
The fees help G League teams earn a solid amount of their operational budget as well, as these NBA team affiliates are not nearly as glamorous as their parent teams.
