Official Detroit Pistons thread

I saw on-line that Cade will not be playing in the SL
I have no idea if it is true.

When I first saw the Ivey clips the person that came to mind was Dwayne Wade.....Keep in mind, Dwayne wasnt a great shooter when he came out of college either....Of course its a pipe dream to hope that Ivey turns into Dwayne Wade, but you can see some early similarities for sure.

It's not that much of a pipe dream

Duren was a beast tonight. Moved very well. All lobs and defense, but that’s enough to contribute. He runs like the wind and rotates fast. Has the look of a high impact defender.

Ivey was a bit wild, but made impact plays. He’s raw, but moved the ball well and played good defense. He will have more spacing with Cade/Bey. He’s a live wire and we don’t have a guy like that. He’s going to be fun to watch.

I didn’t watch the game but Ivey put up 20-6-6 with a sweet pass to Duren for a dunk. Beef stew hit 3 3’s as well. Good for him to continue progressing with that part of his game.

Shaedon Sharpe exited the game with a shoulder injury. Did we dodge the bullet with that one?

[The King]

Both the rookies bring much needed AA. We were really lacking in the guys who can make “wow” plays. They will having growing pains, but the raw talent is exciting.

[The King]

Sharpe hardly played. Who knows. Is he the new Ben Simmons?

Beat me to it.

Why didn’t Duren play more? Did they say?

Agreed. The mix this team has is really exciting

[The King]

Sort of funny Port went all in on building around an aging star in Dame and took a guy that raw. Who knows, teams stuck in the middle get stuck there because they build around aging talent.

[The King]

Duren balled the fuck out and just signed, so they didn’t max his mins. Ivey played most of the game. That dude could run another 40 mins. Stew was in regular season shape. I doubt we see him again.

Lee and Hayes still suck, but that’s expected. Hayes had back to back times where he couldn’t even bring the ball up. That dude is trash.

[The King]

Just starting Hayes next to Ivey meant the defense was doubling Ivey. Hayes is pure garbage. He does nothing and makes our other young guards lives harder. He needs to go.

[jaadam4]

It sucks because Hayes ended the season on a decent stretch. I was hoping he could turn into a really valuable 6th man. He’s just not great

Agreed about Dame. He’s a good player but I’m sorry they’re not going anywhere.

[froot loops]

The Blazers might be a player for Durant.

[Futureshock]

Beat me to it.

They seem to have a thousand guys on their SL team. Maybe not that much but a lot still.

I didn't stay up for all of it but saw the first few minutes. That first lob from Ivey to Duren had me pumped. I think we're going to see that a ton with Ivey and Cade until teams find some way to defend it.
