Team is 2-9 with Brown in the starting lineup....he's 3-18 from 3 (16%) and 26-68 from 3 (38%) and of those 2s are layups btw....

Just saying.

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Please tell me what Brown does better than Johnson? I got it- guard point guards....that's all I can think of.

Dinwiddie still our draft pick. :wink:

By default we're playing 4 on 5 offensively with Brown in the lineup but the way we use Dre it's basically 3 on 5 offensively. And then we wonder why the offense is awful.

idk, they're both G-league caliber players but brown at least isnt as much of a net negative like johnson when he is starting in my opinion

still think Kennard should be starting though

I know most of you probably dont want to acknowledge this but Reggie is starting to come alive lately. He physically looks better, starting to get his bounce and explosiveness back. That last corner three was tough but he was able to create separation to get it off and made it....he couldnt create that separation back in November, his body wasnt there yet. Looks better defensively too, just simply moving better.

Stanley hasn't developed offensively like we had hoped...I understand that. I really think he's going to go somewhere and they're not going to expect him to be a savior like we did and they're going to get way more out of him. Basically just like Rodney Stuckey did in Indiana.

I understand Brown is a rookie and people love rookies around here because they expect them to be the next greatest whatever whenever they show any type of potential.....but Brown isn't better than Johnson. As I said, he can guard smaller guards better but that's about it. There's nothing else. Johnson needs to be a better finisher...I have no clue why that hasnt developed but he's a decent mid ranger when given the opportunity. In this "system" it forces him to 4 3s a game and you get terrible results. Why should a career 29% shooter be shooting 4 3s a game? Because once again, Casey sucks.

Pistons need to have Dre or Blake on the court AT ALL TIMES. I dont understand why this is so hard for the coaching staff to understand. At the very least Reggie needs to be in, they cant all be on the bench. EVER.
