I was a little shocked he only hit Beasley for 20 corner three assists.  I looked it up and the Pistons do not take a lot of corner threes.  717 total last year, and that ranked them 23rd in the league in attempts.  Phoenix was 1st with just over 900 attempts.

The top 10 is pretty wild.  In order: Phoenix, Utah, Miami, Brooklyn, Chicago, Atlanta, Cleveland, Minnesota, Golden State, and San Antonio.

7 of those teams were irrelevant last year.  Either missed the playoffs or lost in the play-in games.  So maybe corner three attempts are not a good indicator of team success.

The schedule is out.

Tough first 5 games to start to the season. They could wind up 2-3 or even 1-4. Levels out a bit in the next 5 games.

at Bulls - W
at Rockets - L
Celtics - Coin Toss
Cavs - L
Magic - L
Mavericks (Mexico City) - Coin Toss
at Grizzlies - Coin Toss
Jazz - W
at Nets (cup) - W
at 76ers - Embiid Toss

Could be as low as 3-7 or as high as 7-3. My guess is they wind up 5-5 .

Good for him. Maybe he should pay his rent and his barber now.

Either way, I don't see him coming back to Detroit:

-He'd have to accept 7.2M where a few other teams could give him 14M.

-Detroit has other players on larger contracts who will be expecting minutes (Robinson/Lavert) and returning players who will need more minutes than last year (Ivey, Thompson, Holland).

-Even other teams who can offer him the same 7M make more sense because then he could get the 25-30 mpg he needs to prove his way into a bigger/longer contract next offseason. Here he won't get those minutes.
