The Detroit Pistons are 4-37 since last year’s trade deadline. That is an 8 win pace for an 82 game season which would be the worse record in history. (alien.top)

The Pistons are in year 4 of their rebuild (some would say they’ve been rebuilding since the Drummond draft), and currently seem to be taking steps backwards with their young core.

Cade is currently the least efficient player to average 20+ ppg in the league & Monty has been questionable with his coaching patterns. Their 2020 draft where they selected Hayes, Stewart, & Bey, has been a failure considering who was available on the board. They had similar cap money to Houston this off-season & instead of adding quality vets to help their core, they took on expiring contracts for players that aren’t even in the rotation.

There is no doubt they are the “black eye” of the league, & have been for some time.

Any Detroit fans that can give a little insight on why Cade has been so bad? I was very high on him pre-injury but haven't watched much Pistons this year.

Playmaking is subpar, lose handles, not explosive or athletic. He struggles to create space to get open shots and he doesn’t like to take any contact.

He still young but probably needs a reduced role.

Basically everything everyone who got downvoted in r/nbadraft said. It was painfully obvious he couldn't create separation even in college.
