Ivey has made at least two threes in 12 straight games. He's also had 11+ points and 5+ assists in each of those games. Wow.

Would be nice to get a win or two off the back of strong play from our young core going into the off-season.

Fun game so far, other than Mt Duren taking out another frontline comrade sigh.

Oh it was accidental, Duren came down with an elbow on Wisemens head, total accident but he's out.

Absolutely maddening. When Killian plays like this, he's worth every penny and then some. Fits and starts with this kid.

Our backcourt is just straight up beastmode this game.

Ivey is starting to look really, really good.

He really looks like he can score at will, much like when Cade started beasting. Man next year could be so damn good if everything works out.

Hopefully he finishes these last 2 games on a high note and forgets his inconsistent tendencies before next season :lol:

If we get wemby, it’ll be very interesting to see how cade Ivey and him mesh. I’m expecting a lot of up and downs and that just with cade and Ivey trying to mesh. It sucks so much cade got injured. Next year going to be rough, but hopefully no injuries to anyone for extended periods so we can see what the duck this team is and how they mesh.

For me, no judging of any of the youth until we see them play for another coach. Killian js really in his 2nd s3axon, he has just over 2 seasons of experience under a coach who hasn't shown me a bit of youth development.

I hope fans won't be saying next year is Cade's 3rd season. It will be his 2nd year of nba experience, just like this is Killians 2nd year, same for Wiseman. What matters is how much on-court experience you have. So be ready to see YouTube channels making statements how how Cade has been in the league 3 years now whenever he has a bad game. The Cade haters will spout that constantly.

It's strange to think that at the start of next season, Ivey and Duren will have more NBA experience than Cade. I hope this misfortune pays dividends down the road with their accelerated development.

If the Pistons end up with a top 2 pick, the injury may be looked back on as the thing that created a monster of a team.

There is a ton of young talent on this team, and adding yet another top pick and then possibly a new coach to go with it, is exciting as hell.

Jalen Duren is just massive for his age. Strong as an ox, and huge. He really is on his way to being that guy, at the Center spot. Beast.

13 now. Ivey's looking great.

Should try and win the last game too. Already secured the worst record.

Homelander87 · Post #18 » by **Homelander87** » Sat Apr 8, 2023 1:36 am

Ivey is starting to become a beast and has a higher ceiling than Cade. The question I have for everyone is….who’s the better athlete Jaden Ivey or Jalen Green?

Jalen has more explosiveness vertically, but Ivey might be the fastest guy in the league. He has an incredible quick-twitch to him that we’ve never really seen in a pistons uniform

Strong, like bull. Smart, like tractor
