Upstate NY native. Always root for anyone from there. Isaiah embodies what upstate is. Been rooting for him since he got in the league.

[@nfmjcn2687]

This dude is exactly what a piston is in my mind. Hard work, the hustle, built like a fucking tank. Whatever his role going forward is, I believe he will excel in it for the pistons.

[@jayblaze7216]

We just need to make him a 4 already and not a center. That’s one of my the reasons we lose so many games, because we have no big man while every other team in the league has a huge strong athletic 7 footer who can catch lobs, block shots, work the post and shoot the mid range etc. Meanwhile we haven’t had a real NBA center since Drummond which is why I hope they’re not stupid and actually give Duren some minutes to develop him at the center. We need a big man!! Beef Stew is Beef Stew not Ben Wallace, I love him but I think he’d be way more effective at the power forward. But then the question is who starts at the 4, Stew or Bagley?

[@Coolhand69]

@@jayblaze7216 I agree, and stew would get that 4 spot over bagley who would come off the bench. Given if Duren develops as he’s projected to. Which I believe he will, he’s already shown bunch of potential at the 5.

[@chuckbrewer6751]

great story.... Beef had one thing sadly so many young men don't have though.... A great father figure props to his dad to for helping bring up such a fine man.

[@stephenmay1343]

As a person who grew up on Eight Mile and Meyers in the D and now is settled in Roc City , I am truly glad he had great family love and support. He is returning this attribute to the youngsters in the Roc. Glad to see Malik ( The Mayor) showing much love, he too is another example of the Real. Ok, Isiah, you got a squad this year. Let's bring another Chip' to that' D! Big Ben Wallace got yo' back. " What up Doe?".

My favorite Piston. It's not even close.

Piston for life

[@kendallhughes7507]

People be criticizing his size blah blah blah, I don't care what position he plays, Detroit needs to retain this cat for as long as they can and as long as he's putting in the work- he's represents exactly what the Detroit Pistons are all about!

[@wingchun1719]

@@raymondsims7042 It's easy for you to say such an excuse for something that didn't end up happening. I have also seen many athletes who will act out of spite but also for show. Isaiah was indeed however enraged. If no one got in his way, he would've reached Lebron. Thanks for trying to defend him though.

Epitome of a Detroit Piston. We lucked out drafting that man. Awesome human being

Rochester needs a lot of help, this man is a good step in the right direction. Too bad our leaders do not invest in communities like they do Football Stadiums. Sad really, Rochester is struggling.

[@Musicwatcher3]

Blessings to this brother 😊. Seems like he gave the "Try" a run for his money and won. ❤

[@rodneyp9590]

Beef is a beast. His constant improvement is very noticeable. I honestly think he’s about to get the green light to shoot the 3. Also look at his frame! That man is strong, but he’s young. He has the frame to be the strongest man alive someday. He isn’t going to because it would slow his mobility, but he has a lot of room to grow and could become the strongest player in the league
