He's had 3 great statlines in a row, a homerun pick

[–] Steko@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Knicks gave him away to help clear cap space for Brunson. Pretty sure the Mavs FO could have gotten him along with a bunch of other assets if they did a sign and trade instead of shitting the bed all summer.

As of right now, Duren is averaging 18 points on 80.5 TS%, 15.3 Rebounds, 4 Assists, 2.7 Blocks

[–] Ayjel89@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve liked a lot of Duren, Stewart, Ausar, and, of course, Cade.

Haven’t followed for awhile—what happened to Ivey??

[–] CheesyPugz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ivey’s been playing horrible on offense lately, and he can’t really defend well. Thats why Hayes is starting over him to start the season

[–] manga_be@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow. He was like the feature player on the whole team last season. Quite a fall.

[–] dspencer2015@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s not all doom and gloom. He has a pretty good game on Friday against Charlotte 18 and 4 on 8-14 and improved defense

[–] ArtichokeFormer8801@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ivey has been fine on offense; he very much led the team against Charlotte. His defense is a work in progress

[–] great-nba-comment@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That low bounce pass from Cade is something else as well. They didn't even have time to expect it because he never brought the ball back up.

[–] Level_Ad_6372@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shout out those 5 assists. Dude is more than just a rim runner

[–] Headlesshorsman02@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This may be a hot take but I think he ends up being the best player on the team even over Cade

[–] CWinsu_120@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I would still lean Cade just because of his skillset and the role he has to play, but I see where you're coming from.

[–] LocustUprising@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

PGs face a much steeper curve for improving their than other positions, so I do think it’s possible

[–] pistonsplayer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was saying this during his rookie summer league last year lol they called me crazy

[–] Daconvix@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really don’t understand why they even traded for Wiseman. Duren and Bagley are both clearly much better

[–] aaden08@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Its kind of like when NFL teams pick up ex-Patriots players. They're like "Oh he was a Warrior, maybe we have some of that magic"

[–] ZiOnIsNeXtLeBrOn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This Kid is going to make the Olympics team.

He is that freaking good.

Just Imagine Lebron throwing Lobs to this kid.

[–] frozteh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean this is not true. But yeah when you have Embiid, AD, and Bam backlogging you up it's not a negative.

[–] Ironredhornet@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Embiid finally chose a team?

Cade and Duren will be A duo to look out for LOBS FOR DAYS

[–] JonTheHobo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pistons core is super exciting

[–] IkanKakap@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

contributing hard to my fantasy team

[–] fishing_pole@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

League winning pick possibly

[–] b5dass@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This dude is a damn force on the basketball floor

[–] Electric_Aeria@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I drafted Duren in the 15th round last year in my keeper league. I dropped mid season because his FT% was costing me a crucial matchup. All I know is pain

[–] Least_Inspector_450@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

League winner and such a joy to watch

[–] omnicious@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Monty been praying for a big that'll actually dunk.

[–] aaden08@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We are building a contender like the Thunder

Better 19 year old prospect than scoot dont @ me

[–] LuisScolaGOAT@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's so fucking good and so young, too. He is going to be a problem for a while.

[–] theflow21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This dude is gonna be the franchise big man that Pistons fans thought Andre Drummond would be. Him and Cade spells a bright future for Detroit.
