With Cade Icewood we bossin up to the #1 pick, again- Detroit Pistons 21-22 Official Thread

[djthegreat88]

One thing Cade had in High school and college that he’s going to struggle with now is his power game. He definitely needs to get significantly stronger; Which is One of the reasons he’s struggling and settling for shooting so many 3s. He’s still huge for a pg/sg but definitely lacking strength. They might need to convince him to bush that vegan diet though

I know it's early but Jalen Green

Y’all gotta relax. My man done played 50 minutes of nba ball.

And Jalen green looked bad early too fans so reactionary I forget sometimes
Also Cade wasn’t the only one playing bad. Legit the entire team besides Grant looked shyt effort wise and shooting wise

I will say idk why they started fukking with his shot so early
I get it he will need to speed up his motions but he looked absolutely fine in summer league mechanics wise. With that said whatever they doing with our guys shots has been bad. Saddiq walked into the gym last year a 40 percent shooter and now he can’t hit rim consistently.

A lot of players are struggling with their shot this year so it's just an issue with Saddiq.

Jalen has had plenty of stinkers too. These guys are going to take time to adjust. And Cade playing off ball more than he has in the past is also adding to his adjustment period.

Might be those new balls. Shooting percentages are down league wide

It’s probably all of it but what’s nasty is they are actually getting good wide open looks and still clanking
It can’t just be the ball.

I was very alarmed when I saw they were messing with his shot. We did add John Belein as a ‘player developmental coach’, I hope that didn’t have anything to do with the whole team declining

This team is terrible. When the pistons are ready to compete for a playoff spot 2 or 3 of these players on this roster will still be here.

I understand we want to see Cade Beasting. But some of us sound like you thought he was bout to come in and be Lebron James from day one.


He playing within the offense and getting up good looks his shot just hasn’t been falling the first 2 games. You can see he’s a plus rebounder and can set his teammates up and he competes defensively. The jumper will start fallin.

The team trying to change Cade’s jump shot?

Trying to fix his low release point apparently

This is apart of the process but also the league overall is adjusting to using a new basketball. Three point shooting all over is down.

Pistons are the worst by a 3% margin
