Yup, potential vs NBA talent. Pistons have lots of guys with potential, but they aren't NBA starter talents yet.
Do they actually have lots of guys with potential? Cade straight up isn’t all that good, I wouldn’t be surprised if he never makes all nba, Ivey obviously is an nba talent but he’s not great. Is wiseman even still alive?
I think they do. Is just a matter of growth. Cade could very well need to take the Wiggins path instead of the Ant.
Cade has the kind of physical attributes and skill set that could make him top 10. I don't think he's a lead ball handler, they need a starting PG who can steer the offense, with Cade providing the wild card that breaks teams down.
Duren might be the best of the bunch, at what is still probably the most impactful position in the NBA.
Ivey, Thompson, and Stewart all have ideal role-player skill set for good teams.
Honestly the more I watch Cade the more I think he doesn’t have the physical attributes to be top 10. It’s kinda weird watching a big PG who isn’t a bad shooter struggle to create space. Only other similar guy I can think of is D’Lo
Again it's about potential, eventually there will come a point where we say "Damn, Cade is just fucking inefficient." and we stop saying he's that guy.
Duren, stew, cade, ivey, ausar all have immense potential. If you dont watch us why act like you have a clue?
Immense potential? How many of them have all nba potential? Duren; maybe. Stew; hard disagree. Cade; maybe. Ivey; don’t think so but might make an all star game at some point. Ausar, too early to really tell, but I’d say maybe? I’d be shocked if more than 2 of the 5 make an all nba team in their career, and more than 3 make an all star game. My prediction is 1 all nba 2 all stars.
That’s decent but not insane.
