My favorite young duo in the league. Athleticism, defense, and rebounding from both of em

Vucevic is a bit of a joke, or am a tripping?

[–] RapsFanMike@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

No team serious about competing will have him as their starting center that’s for sure

God This is beautiful

Cade/Duren/Ausar is the start of a great core for the Pistons

Idk where Ivey fits in though, seems like they don't view him the same as those other guys

[–] 30another@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Monty is a great coach to get them jump started as well

[–] DaYvngGOAT@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thing about Ivey is his shot has come along so quick, he fat and away the best shooter of the bunch. Defense and decision making is what’s holding him back

[–] CWinsu_120@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Nah Cade is def a better shooter than Ivey, and I know it's literally only 3 games but Cade is shooting 39% on 6 attempts. I don't expect that to hold up but I don't think 35% is unreasonable to expect.

Tbh might be good in the off-season to trade Ivey for a high quality vet from a rebuilding team (Lavine? Pascal?). Those three guys plus an established all star calibre vet is a legit playoff team next year.

How dare you forget Joe Harris? He’s only 32 and getting better every game

[–] FatherHaz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

These young dynasties that are forming, Thunder, Spurs, and Pistons. Are so fun to watch right now

[–] SonofNamek@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Rockets need to make adjustments but they have pieces, as well, and aren't far off either

[–] Middle-Welder3931@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Between Shai, Giddey, Chet, Williams, Wemby, Cade, Duren, Ausar, Amen, Paolo, and Franz, league gonna be taken care of for the next 15 years.

[–] KilwaLover@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

you forgot one

[–] LoxDnw@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Detroit might just be onto something...

[–] Ifinishfast42@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Monty effect. Suns problem the last 3 years hasn’t been on him it was because Ayton wasn’t Luka Doncic

[–] Beavshak@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

There was negative effort on defense there.

[–] george_costanza1234@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Both Thompson twins will be superstars

[–] TheMajesticYeti@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Their combinations of athleticism, instincts, and intangibles are rare.

[–] GhostOfJiriWelsch@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I love both of the Thompson twins, just straight HOOPERS you can tell they’re having the time of their life

I’m such a fan of Ausar, switching to bandwagoning for the Pistons rn. Cade + Duren + Ausar + Ivey (if he can get more efficient) are such a fantastic young squad. Joining Daniel Radcliffe on the Pistons train.

[–] MerculesHorse@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I drafted my brother's fantasy team because he was away, and my last three picks (bench picks) included the Thompson twins because I figured they'd be fun as hell and sure enough (the other was Shaedon Sharpe, for the same reason haha)

[–] sousvide@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ausar the tosser

[–] siphillis@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I had the sneaking suspicion that Ausar would be better than Amen out of the gate, but not by this wide a margin.

[–] junkyardgerard@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

That wasn't a double dribble?
