I’m too busy watching Sixers/Celtics/Bucks games to review the Pistons, so I figured I would ask the experts. Bust or let him cook?

    I don’t think we can call Cade a bust yet, but I am surprised at how bad the Pistons have been this year. I thought with Monty as head coach and all the young talent they have they would be challenging for a play-in spot. Maybe they still will, but at this point they have the worst record in the nba.

    I think he’s gonna end up as a Lonzo Ball type player. Not that archetype but around that skill level of good starter but not a star or franchise player

    So would that be a bust? For a 1st overall pick probably

    He’s had the worst surrounding circumstances of any young lead guard that I can think of in the modern era. Needs to get this full season under his belt and to play games with actual functional lineups in order to know more.

    Y’all are dumb af, this is technically his second year and he’s averaging 23/4/7

    The problem is y’all pay too much attention to advanced stats.

    Monty has been disappointing not Cade. It’s malpractice putting Hayes in the starting lineup.

    He’s in a weird situation because he is clearly talented but the high caliber player he was profiled as coming into the draft hasn’t materialized

    I had him second behind Mobley that year for a lot of the reasons why he hasn’t been successful so far but as you stated the team isn’t set up all that well for him

    However the same argument was made to cover his weaknesses at Oklahoma State

    It’s now going on year 4 of him having these issues and while you can argue all 4 years the team hasn’t suited his talents at some point if you are the number 1 pick and had the hype he did you would want to see a lot more out of him than what we currently are

    I compared him to a bigger Kyle Lowry coming into the draft, a great #2 guy and leader but someone who lacks the consistent scoring prowess and athleticism needed to be a #1 guy on a high level contender

    What is with the agenda against Cade this season? This question gets asked multiple times per week.

    You’re the point guard, Cade! YOU HAVE THE REINS

    If anything his teammates are the victims of a poor offense.

    I think he’s good but with the #1 pick you would hope he can carry your franchise. The jury is still out on him, what I would like to see is him getting to the line more often.
