Kia Rookie Ladder 11/23/22 - Ivey #2, Duren #9

[Laimbeer]

Ivey

...Playing without backcourt mate Cade Cunningham (sore left shin), the 6-foot-4 South Bend native shined even if his Pistons (0-4) did not. Ivey notched his first 20-point performance and then immediately did it again, with 26 against Boston followed by 21 Monday against Toronto. Against the Raptors, he had eight assists and four rebounds, with Toronto coach Nick Nurse switching 2022 ROY Scottie Barnes onto Ivey in the fourth quarter. Said Pistons coach Dwane Casey: “His speed was the difference of getting into the paint and creating things for other people.”...

Duren

...10 offensive boards in four games, more than all but 9 rookies have all year...

1/4 of the way through the season and Ivey has without a doubt been a top 3 rookie this year... That said, he still needs to get better at shooting and more efficient, but the flashes have been there for sure. He also kind of needs to learn how to best use that elite speed and athleticism at this level because its a different level of interior defense and size at the rim here.
