Point Guard is the Pistons main problem
Untill they fix the point guard position the pistons will continue to lose and get the #1 pick in the draft.
The pistons have scorers but no one to dish them the ball.

Re: Point Guard is the Pistons main problem
Pistons main problem is a lack of a superstar or two. I don't think position matters too much.

Lack of talent is the problem. Best player is Grant. Grants on a good team like the Nugs was nothing more then a spot shooting defensive guy.

Uh-oh. How can we avert this crisis?
At the end of the day, it's not about wins and losses. Teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship make champions of us all.

Re: Point Guard is the Pistons main problem
Once Ja comes back see if Memphis wants to do D Rose for Tyus Jones. D Rose back in Memphis would be a story and he could be perfect for their bench.
Jones would be a great insurance policy for Hayes. Dude has great natural PG skills and is getting that little bit better each season, although his 3ball has regressed so far this season.

Jordan is so stupid, we could have got Ball in a trade on draft night
Put together a godfather offer:
- Kennard
- Rose
- Bruce Brown
- two 2nd round draft picks
- future 1st (since we dont need to give that up to Houston for nothing)
- Take back Batum so the Hornets dont need to stretch him and Jordan doesnt need to lose money
- Hell i would have thrown in Sekou
Ball + trash >>>>>>> Killian, Sekou, Grant
LaMelo was begging the Pistons the draft him, literally putting out piece after piece in the media about how he loves Detroit and what the Pistons and hard work mission means
LaMelo and Lavar and begging the Pistons to draft him, Wood wants to stay in Detroit so what does Weaver do? He gives away any tradeable asset, uses our cap space to help other teams, gifts the Clippers FOUR second round picks in a trade where we sent them a 1st round draft pick and our best 3pt shooter in Kennard
LaMelo + Wood is such a nice young core moving forward, Weaver is trash, garbage, he deserves to be fired now, not in a few years

Re: Point Guard is the Pistons main problem
So people around here want to address point guard position in order to keep picking in the 7-12 range once again?
I'm pretty sure that almost half the forum wanted us to be trash and tank for Cade, Bates, Chet in the next 2-3 years... how they changed idea and started complaining about Pistons being trash?
if Hayes and Doumbouya are two bust we'll replace them with higher lottery picks.

Re: Point Guard is the Pistons main problem
The pistons don't have "scorers." They have complimentary roll players. We also don't have anything resembling enough talent to win a title on the current roster. Once we add a couple more high draft picks and clear Blake off the books, then we can start talking about what pieces we might need to add.

There are people here willing to go over the cap and trade away every future draft pick if it meant getting the players that could guarantee a #8 playoff spot, so...yeah

Re: Point Guard is the Pistons main problem
PG is a problem, even with Rose, Rose isn't good for developing players unless you are an offensive rebounder picking up his misses. When he's on the floor, everyone knows they probably aren't going to get the ball, he's just going to take it to the hoop, same with BG (although he's been getting better the last few games, initiating offense and taking it to the post).

Kennard got plenty of open looks from Rose when he was health. Maybe the players around Rose are just terrible, so he rather finishes himself them give them the ball lol

Re: Point Guard is the Pistons main problem
THIS, so much THIS!
Heard for years how the playoff mandate and roster moves sucked and how we should tank for franchise players in the Draft since no one comes here via free agency!
Got a GM who came in and is doing exactly that (with some seriously weird cap gymnastics I admit) and all people can complain about is not keeping this guy who would have prevented the tank and made us at best first round fodder

Re: Point Guard is the Pistons main problem
I think the goal for the season should be find a "Facilitator" in the draft, not necessarily a point guard.

Like Troy Weaver, for example
