Unpopular Opinion - JB Bickerstaff is one of the best coaches in the NBA right now.

[Harry Palmer]

You really don't want one PG dominating the ball and setting things up like they did in the past. You want elite shooting/spacing with guards that can also get downhill.

I don't see how this is remotely true. What nba contending team is starting two point guards at this point?

Technically atm the Rockets, who have caught fire since they gave Jalen Green the lead guard responsibility, and I don’t think you can call FVV anything but a 1.

[MrBigShot]

He deserves to be the coach of the year after how fast he transformed the Pistons.

Green font?

No green font needed. We're on pace for a ~28-30 win improvement from last season, and doing it with Cade + a handful of serviceable role players.

We've had at least 5-6 very narrow victories that came down to 1 play, he's done a very good job coaching down the stretch. He wont win it because of the season the Cavs are having, but he should be in the conversation.

Bickerstaff doesn't have an argument over Kenny at this stage of the game, although he has done a good job making the Pistons a lot better.

FVV best position has been as shooting guard. This latest change works well with his strengths.

I have to bump this, as this is the best thread that I have ever made. Years later, it is still true.

He does have a lot to prove in the upcoming playoffs, that’s undeniable.

But man, he’s got all 15 players on the roster locked and loaded and prepared. It’s impressive.

He's a floor-raiser, TBD if he continues to limit ceilings as well.

Lol no.

[Bloodbather]

He has proved his credentials as a floor raiser. Gets the team to focus on a defensive identity, gives them structure. Did it in Cleveland and now in Detroit.

He's hasn't been the most inventive or flexible coach offensively, though. You need that to achieve greater heights, especially in the Playoffs where it's all about exploiting the weaknesses in your matchup.
