Grading Every Piston's Performance So Far

[@CarsonClaws]

I wish duren could play defense or shoot. He can’t do either unfortunately so I have no idea what to do with him

[@scottwickett1273]

Trade him, or let him walk, whatever.

[@HakeemTheDream616]

I think it's time to start Stewart it feel like his impact on our teams defense when he comes off the bench is similar to Cade impact on offense when he's on the court.

[@seanhaddix4083]

I really wish that Pistons fans would stop overreacting to Cade's turnovers. Go look up the league leaders in turnovers throughout the years. You are almost guaranteed to be a legend if you lead the league in turnovers.

[@nuggiesss6193]

the turnovers themselves aren't bad, it's how they happen which is bad. It's not like 1 bad pass one quarter, another one in a different quarter. It's always in the fourth quarter, and they happen over and over again within 2 minutes leading to tons of blown leads and countless dead possessions.

[@leoclassics5313]

​@nuggiesss6193 its been a few games that he had a bunch of not important turnovers in the first half then turnaround and get a couple in the 4th that's not his fault. But everyone looks at the box score and say " 6 turnovers cade needs to just play the 2 he's the reason why we lost" its just dumb. It's plenty games where Bron or Greek gets 6 to 9 turnovers a few games in a row and no one says anything. It's stupid. High usage equals high turnovers.

[@AnthonyDelaCruz86]

Cade is not a point guard. If he played the 2 and we had a legit point guard this team would be hard to beat.

@@nuggiesss6193 Luka led the league in turnovers last year, so talk your ish about Luka instead of Cade!

[@seanhaddix4083]

@AnthonyDelaCruz86 What legit point guard? If Cade is not a legit point guard, tell me who is?

[@ramen-3ats]

ron holland A+ effort. C basketball IQ, D- shooting.

[@oriolescobar5112]

I really think Hardaway Jr time is out of the starting line up. Beasley deserves it much more. Ivey and Cunningham are growing up. Fontechio and Hardaway defense has made us loss too many games 😢

[@peter3860]

Agree with most of PJ ratings, but surprisingly, think Beasley should a little lower, maybe an A-. Yeah, his offense is definitely an A+, but his defense seems like it's getting even a little worse. He misses assignments and often is a half step behind the man he's covering. Yeah, for instance the last game against the Knicks, think he got blown by a couple times at key moments at the end. It feels like he doesn't care about defense and is often the weak link. Take Cade on the other hand. He gets lackidasical on D at times during the beginning of games, but during key moments, he's is doing it on both ends. A lot tougher to do.

[@HakeemTheDream616]

Yeah we're not just looking for shooters we want basketball players that can shoot.

[@pheralanpathfinder4897]

Beasley has never been a good defender. He has increased his shooting volume without losing efficiency and provided good leadership. I give him an A for sure

[@peter3860]

@@pheralanpathfinder4897 agree, his attitude and energy are fantastic:)

[@peter3860]

@@HakeemTheDream616 Shooting ks definitely super important, but think Beasley would start if he could defend a little better. Yeah, Beasley is a great player and a great addition to the roster, but he also has one area for improvement

[@AnthonyDelaCruz86]

We have a small ball line up. If this team had a legit power forward starting we'd be 17-8. Tobias is a small forward in this league. He's not playing anywhere near as good as I thought he'd be scoring. Yes he's a great veteran and lifts the team up. But he's playing out of position. Cade can't have his full potential with the team as it is now. We will win 30 games this year and just miss the playoffs. Next year this team will be a top 5 eastern team once they figure out the 4 spot. Realistically we don't even have a back up 4.
