Most head coaches do not move the needle one way or another. This season ended when Cade went down for the year. Everyone knew it. After the AS Break the tank was all hands on deck.
Casey is a knowledgeable and nice guy, glad they kept him in the organization.
But it was time to move on.
There are interesting pieces there. Burks and BB give badly needed outside shooting. BB is very efficient offensively but not good defensively
Duran and Ivey showed a lot of promise. Beef Stew being able to defensively switch on the perimeter enables him to be paired with any of the Pistons bigs
Hayes is the best defensive guard Detroit has and looks to get others involved first and second (which is very important on a team that has a lot of guys that need the ball). Offensively, he seems to be taking the Marcus Smart approach of not being able to shoot first few years in the league. Open question if he can take the jump to decent shooter like Smart did.
There is talent here, but it feels like they are missing THE GUY to bind it all together. Can Cade be that guy? Jury is out there too.
