[Smith] The Pistons are awful. They aren't even bad with purpose right now. Lineups don't make sense. Positions players are being put in don't make sense. It's just a complete and total mess. (alien.top)

The Pistons are awful. They aren't even bad with purpose right now. Lineups don't make sense. Positions players are being put in don't make sense. It's just a complete and total mess.

Sometimes teams are bad. It happens. And it's often with purpose. Spurs are also bad, but they are trying to figure out what they have. Pistons just seem to show up, do the same stuff, lose and repeat the process.

Being bad without purpose is just wasting a season.

Pistons are currently down 31 and about to lose their 15th in a row.

The way they drafted made no sense, after they got Cade, they desperately need to draft guys who can shoot but they keep picking up guys who can't shoot. Ausar is great defensively, elite even but he is a huge negative on the offense and spacing right now.

What's the point of your comment? Are you saying they should've drafted someone else that's way worse than him but fits better? The Pistons suck and everyone knew they would suck this year, there's no drafting for fit if you have a bad team. I actually like the core of this team so I'm not worried. The only thing I'm concerned about is that it is looking like Cade is not actually a number 1 guy, which I thought he would be. Ausar, Duren, Ivey, Stewart and Sasser are all good to great players. This losing record is misleading, especially if you take into account all the injuries and their lack of experience with each other. If you want to worry about a team worry about the Jazz, now that's a franchise that's not going anywhere despite having a great coach

The few times I have seen the Pistons play, Sasser was the biggest surprise, best player. Stoked to see as a UH alum.
