Stanley Johnson..i cant stand his jump shot. Its a line drive shot with no arc and he shoots it at his chin. He better not come back with the same shot next year...

The coaching staff had no problem with it at the start of the season. I really doubt they do anything with it now unfortunately.

He has a good high follow through which is what you want with shooters that shoot a bit low like Curry and Harden. I think he just needs the reps and practicing game-simulated shots more, same with KCP.

What I noticed with KCP is his ability to show that jumper coming off of a PnR while putting his defender behind him and either shooting it to make it or draw a foul from behind. That can also happen for SJ too.

Sucks that I live an hour from Toronto and am surrounded by people like this.


Me too bro. I'm in Oakville and all these Raps fans get on my nerves lol. I still think we could beat them but if we play them and lose, I'll lose it hahahaha

Drummond - do you guys think he's heavier than before? Out of shape maybe? Just seems like he doesn't get up like he used to. I miss the version of Dre that would dunk on everybody and get oops. Now it's mostly soft little jump hooks that seem to miss more often than not and makes him put his head down

Drummond drives me crazy. He's got Moses Malone type potential when it comes to his rebounding and his all around impact; HOWEVER, he gets really frustrated like beyond Austin Daye level frustration when things aren't going his way. He looks like he feels the weight of the world on his shoulders when he fails to make his free throws, only to turn around and lie during interviews saying it doesn't bother him at all. If he doesn't get touches on offense or the benefit of calls from the refs, he completely withdraws from game and pouts when he gets pulled.

That's bad.

When Drummond is locked in, it takes 4 and five guys to keep him off the boards. He clogs the lane on defense with body checks, blocks, and steals. He shows all the flashes of brilliance that mark him out as a developing star, but those things only show when he brings the energy. Drummond could make the Detroit elite. It's up to him. I really hope the experience in the playoffs proves to be a coming out party for the big fella.

this should do the talking for me...

"The Pistons, who recently hired shooting coach Dave Hopla, will try to find that balance, and president-coach Stan Van Gundy made reference to Johnson's release point at the player's introductory press conference two weeks ago, after Detroit made him the No. 8 overall pick in the NBA draft."
