all reasonable points. yeah Pistons are in a tough spot because draft chips didn’t fall our way. Cade for all intents and purposes the last two years has been our #1

like this team is definitely screwed if Cades offensive ceiling is Kemba (and super screwed if it’s Jrue or Lonzo). I know that’s not what you are arguing, just flagging it.

In terms of 3p% i have faith that Cades can rise to league average even while being the #1, he just needs to share more ball handling duties. Even Luka has poor stretches shooting the 3 when they all have to be self created

Foul drawing is weird I also think he’ll figure it out but the signs are not promising right now minus one or two games.

Like I genuinely think Cade can get to 56%+ TS as the number one option next season. I don’t think that’s like some amazing team but could be a 35+ win team with him as the fulcrum. It just feels shitty because fans thought that leap would be this year, and even though not much of our failure and losing streak is Cades fault, he’s definitely not helping us elevate out of it

As a (at this moment very sad / unfortunate) diehard Pistons fan, I will say I’m way less concerned about the field goal stat

The TS stat is way more concerning. He is like if Demar Derozan didn’t know how to draw free throws or something. It’s insane, especially coupled with his turnover rate.

mostly think it’s because the spurs have been on a big losing streak. something weird happened w nba media and fandom the last couple of years where we decided the best rookies needed to be on pretty good teams (see: scottie barnes, evan mobley roy race), that the fact that wemby’s team sucks is now a slight against wemby
