I’m watching this pistons/bulls game. Ausar switched onto a red hot Zach Lavine (49 points) in the 4th and has put him in jail. Lavine had more turnovers than points after that point. I hope someone puts together a defensive highlight reel because this is one of the most impressive defensive performances I’ve seen by a rookie.

    I somehow landed him at #7 in the rookie draft of my dynasty league this year and I’m so excited to see how well he’s played this year. If he’s able to find his shot he’s going to be an ELITE player in no time

    Picked him up in fantasy and he has not disappointed yet. Looks so poised and some of the best BBIQ ive seen from a rookie.

      I got him on my fantasy squad as well, picked him late in the draft and he’s been awesome. Rebounding machine

    After he got subbed in, he forced Lavine into a turnover, then a missed shot, drew a moving screen foul by defending Lavine 40 feet from the basket, then blocked his shot. Really helped seal the game for us

    So should the pistons trade ivey? Seems like a waste for a top 5 drafted player to be a bench player and for ivey to better reach his potential.

    He can guard at the point of attack, he can provide weakside rim protection. The kid is special, even if the jumper never comes, he’s gonna be a star.

    I was very impressed. I’ve seen very few players bother Lavine like that. Off the top of my head Tybulle, Jrue, and to a lesser extend Dort and Advija. Defensive superstar potential.
