With Duren being probable to play I wonder if Bagley starts alongside him, or if we see Wiseman and Duren together? Probably the former if I have to guess.

If the Pistons lose this one, you know for certain they are tanking, like all doubt removed.

This Hornets team is in a sad state.

A more Sad situation than us? We got a lot of potential but I don’t think anyone could say it’s more Sad than us.

I think we’re sure if it and have been for some time. Just look at our inactive list.

Maybe this is the real reason Bojan signed his extension… he was promised March+ off.

A competitive game is more fun to watch, just finesse it into a loss at the end. I think we have the worst record right now, but I didn't check to see what the Rockets did yesterday or if they even played.

Man having all these skilled bigs is a tantalizing look into the future.

Awesome to watch.

Yep. If we snag a really good player in the draft the off-season is going to feel like it will take forever.

As tantalizing as it is to watch all these bigs, the game so far is embarrassing.

Coach em up Casey! Utilize that 2 paragraph playbook!

Wiseman's box score stats look nice but his rebound positioning and defensive awareness just seem off. Will chalk it up to inexperience for now but something to watch moving forward.

Hampton has been a nice surprise of late.

Wiseman while out of position is really active, and has a knack for the ball.

You can see just how inexperienced he is, but you can't teach that kind of height, and insane length. Could really turn into something.

I think we did well getting Wiseman. I believe the rebound positioning and blocking out knowledge will come to him in time.

Honestly kind of feel bad for Duren, who's been starting for a good chunk of the season... if adding Wiseman bumps him out of his starting role and into a reduced role on the bench. Duren has been really solid for us as a very young rookie.... if we got someone who was a good starter to replace his role sure no big deal at all... but getting Wiseman to take his spot is kind of a bummer for sure... .as least for me.

I suspect they're easing Duren back in given he just returned from injury. Hopefully he's back to starting by next game, and could either trial Wiseman at PF or move him back to the bench.

Really happy to be wrong on this one. Absolutely cements the Pistons of having a bottom 3 record. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
