Bagley debut game.

hopefully cade has a good game, the wiz don't have a good wing defender with size to put on him. KCP is solid but he's smaller and cade can usually take advantage of that.

and i'm personally skeptical about bagley being a positive addition to the team but it is nice to at least change things up a bit. if we're gonna keep losing we may as well add a little variety to the losses.

Not many games left where I'm willing to spend a lot of time watching the Pistons - especially with so many other better games. This one though could be special. Wizards don't defend, Cade is hopefully getting healthier, and Bagley has a weak defensive team to show his new squad what he could do.

There's more potential for this game being interesting than any recent one.

Bagley is a monster in 2K. The acquisition is worth that alone

Bagley has to have a double double(20-10 at least)or the signing was a huge mistake.

No problem; he's definitely going to be hanging around the outside and will take at least 8 threes. Just stretchin' it OUT.

How strange; when they showed some pregame highlights of Bagley he took 10 total shots; 9 in the paint and 1 three. That's SO weird. You know, him being a stretch 4 and all.

Hoping to see Cade have a big game, been a while. I would love to see him have 30.

Bagley looks lost

Interesting graphic:

What Bagley does well:
- Scores inside

Nice first bucket for Bagley, Im honestly super high on his potential. Im betting that Sac was that bad of a situation when combined with Walton.

Manocad · Post #16 » by **Manocad** » Tue Feb 15, 2022 12:37 am

And look at that--Bagley gets the ball twice outside the paint and goes right to the rack with it.

Is that a normal ft routine for bagley or just nerves? Both attempts he closed his eyes and took a deep breath before shooting.

Hes had a rocky injury ridden start to his career but the kid has a ton of talent. Definately worth taking the flier on.

Going to have to move Bagley in the offseason. Not one three point shot taken in the massive minutes so far. He's had at least 24 hours to get up speed on Casey's dynamic offense, and he looks lost.

Not a good sign.
