  1. NEITHER……….HE HAS BUILT A BIG MAN STABLE THAT IS BASED ON GAME BY GAME MATCHUPS……….WISEMAN/STEWART/DUREN/MBAGLEY………IF WE ARE PLAYING THE SIXERS, WHO WOULD YOU START…?…….CLEVELAND…WHO WOULD YOU STAR?………..ALL MATCH-UP PAINT PLAYERS………………….DUREN NEEDS TO BE UNSELFISH, LET CASEY ASSESS WISEMAN, AND HIT THE PRACTISE FACILLITY

  2. Detroit is keeping both and developing them. Duren is ahead but Detroit will see what Wisemen can be. This is Wisemen’s rookie year. We need as fans to let it play out. They both have room for growth

  3. Duren is 19 yrs old and he has played a lot this year. That is why he is not starting, he is a kid and you have to be careful with him. Plus Pistons want to get a good look at Wiseman.

  4. Keep them both and if we get vic move one to pf and use the other for 2nd unit and get rid of Hayes , Stewart and bagley out west and get another big and pg in the bottom draft or sign some cheaper and desperate for more playing time type of players for the 2nd unit

  5. Wiseman is awful as shown tonight vs Miami. #stephcurryknew……
    Duren is the Starting center next year. They need a back up defensive big. Wise/bags/stew/Killian etc must go. Will weaver realize his mistakes??

  6. As I’ve said before.. they both should start…. Their both very mobile bigs that give you alot of positives of having 2 bigs on the court (offensive rebounds, interior defense lockdown, interior scoring and spacing.. with few negatives because both can get down the court.. have to foot speed to switch on forwards… Id start both and run them 30 minutes a night with majority by themselves but fir 6 minutes and last 6 minutes they play together with having them both separate the other 18 minutes… over the off season Im get wiseman a shooting coach and if he can space the floor shooting like 32-34% from 3 that’s a promising team for years to come

  7. Wisemen is a good offensive threat, but lacks defense, effort to hustle and stop player driving to the rim on him. a lot of time he just gives up. Duren is great defender but not best offensively.

    Next year starting 5 depending who we get in the draft. Bagley, bojan, Livers, Cade, Ivey, … Liver may be out depending on who we draft.

  8. If you saw tonight's game should give you a clear answer. Mind you, that production came from a 19 year.old.

  9. Wiseman is a horrible, I mean horrible defender! Probably the worst in the league. He's a HUGE net negative and you can't win with him playing any meaningful minutes. He's got to work on his D and his awareness or he's going to be out the league very quickly!

  10. Wiseman is an absolute young offensive prototype of Joel Embiid but when I watch Duren I say to myself damn he's as complete as rookie center as I've ever seen

  11. Just start both but have wiseman at the low post or dunkers position on offense and have him gaurd the 4 on defence
