I love his game. He’s a really pleasant surprise.

Smooth shot, willing passer and solid defense.

I feel like he’s a good complement on any team.

So far hes been ok. Defense ok, shooting ok, he looks like an nba player which is a new experience for pistons fans this year. He hasn't been a blackhole which is a massive improvement.


Glad to hear. Thanks for the update :)

Our guards (Cade/Ivey/Sasser) are 1-16 from the field

He's been active, fighting throughs creens, running during fast breaks, trying to move the ball. He's not super talented but at least he's been playing hard.

Rui is just abusing Fonty, Monty needs to make a change here. Muscala would have a much better chance you would have to think.

He had a streak of 10-12 active 3s and usually played solid D for a bench player. He won’t take over many games (though he did take over an OKC game for us,) but he is a solid 8th or 9th man. I have high hopes for him being in your rotation after the dust settles on all the new guys.

Does Troy have to release Wiseman so Monty wont play him? I just dont understand why he plays over Muscala?

Ivey looks like the only one wanting to play.
They must have had a few last night because everyone looks trash

Cade/Ivey/Fontecchio/Sasser/Milton are the issue not Wiseman.

Yikes.

I feel for the folks out east who stayed up to watch this one. A series of hopeful games followed up by the worst game of the season.

Wonder if the players went out last night.
