That was a knock on him coming out of college. Not sure if it is an effort issue or a quickness issue. Obviously, he is lightning in transition so you would think he would have at least decent lateral quickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hart Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Even though the offense is lacking and frustrating at times, Cade has had a really nice half on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogiebunz Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Duren should start. Their best offense has been transition and one-on-one threes by Cory Joseph and Bogdanovic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogiebunz Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Too often, Cade does not value the ball when he playmakes. Too nonchalant and ultimately careless. Is that like 3 Cade turnovers in like 2-3 minutes? Edited October 20, 2022 by boogiebunz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betrayer Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 43 minutes ago, Hart said: I was pretty hopeful about Stewart developing a three point shot last year that would allow him to be a good starter. If it happens, it happens. But I think we are to the point where he is a better fit as an energy guy off the bench. I think Stew’s three will be fine. It’s actually another reason I want him paired with another big because he can space the floor for the other guy. Two of Bagley, Duren, and Noel together is a bad idea. You need Bojan or Stew paired up with one of them. Try to turn him into Grant Williams is your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Just looked up Suggs stats because I didn't think was supposed to be a good shooter and he shot 21% last year on 4 attempts per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP_Fan Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 This is a team that looks scared to finish games. Should have used a timeout earlier. Cade keeps going to the rim and laying up bricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogiebunz Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Horrible shot selection last 3 minutes, being up in a close game. Cade twice, Bogey on that force transition drive. Edited October 20, 2022 by boogiebunz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfife Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Super slow start but a lot of reason for optimism. Ivey seems twice as fast as anyone else on the court and way more than I was expecting from Duren. Awesome to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 It's easy to see star potential in Ivey as long as he doesn't kill himself out there in the process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on Ivey. I don't expect him to shoot well from the perimeter this year but it is going to be hard for him not to be a star on offense by year two or three just from his explosiveness. He missed some bunnies tonight he will usually make. The question I have is how much will he commit himself to defense. Is he going to be a star on offense and a liability on defense or will he put the effort in on both ends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betrayer Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Well, that was fun. Ivey and Duren looking special out there. Bojan was as advertised and now that Cade has some shooters to pass to he racked up the assists. Casey actually ran a few different defensive looks, not just switch everything. Enjoy this win. It’s a rough schedule for the first 20 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hart Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Duren was the story tonight for me. Losing Bagley may really expedite his development. You see why many thought he was a top 5 pick when he was in high school. Playing one year at Memphis should not have dropped him to 13 overall. Also, it is noteworthy that Cade had no fouls after picking up two in the first quarter and three turnovers is acceptable also. Only 12 for the team. That is a big reason the Pistons won. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
