There’s been a lot of talk about the Detroit Pistons’ use of their second-year player Jaden Ivey, but the Purdue product isn’t the only youngster that could be used better. Pistons 5th pick this year Ausar Thompson is an extremely versatile player who hasn’t been able to showcase that versatility because of what’s been asked of him offensively.

Amen and Ausar in OTE made me so excited to see Ausar in the league because they demonstrated such a good understanding of how to work together and creatively play off one another with that twin telepathy.
I really hope the pistons can find a way to fully unlock Ausar so we can see that old spark he had reignite.
Just focus on draft lottery videos. There is nothing here in 2023. 😢
Do you think the coach is screwing up on purpose?
I don’t understand Monty. He tries something that works and then says “nah let’s try this” the way Ausar was used to start the season was perfect and now he’s put in the position of a spot of shooter.
The 3 guard lineup is one of our best lineups but he only uses it few and far in between.
If it were to come out that he’s trying to sabotage himself to get paid for free then I wouldn’t be surprised at this point
I wonder how’s killian fans feeling right now watching Hali turning into SUPERSTAR 😂
Pistons through
I won't even pretend to have any a clue as to how Monty is deciding on his starting lineups, his subs off the bench and how he distributes players minutes. Its a complete mystery to me – and I wonder if it is to his players too. : /
You are confusing brotha, your entire premise all the time is give the players who were drafted priority all the time. You more than anyone is not focused on winning. Nor the best lineup it's all about highlighting the drafted players. This team stinks dude drafted players or not. The GM needs to see which players he can keep if he adds a certain FA or trade. Being a GM takes a lot of vision and fans and pundits think they know but they don't because you're not at practice. Players get better and or worse over time causing a GM to change the trajectory of a specific plan. The league is changing rapidly and your premise to me is on small lineups and spacing because you want to play fast (space and pace). Without understanding whether or not you have the right pieces. Cade to me is NOT a pace and space PG. Truth be told this team as presently constituted doesn't have one. That IMO is more of the problem than anything you don't have a PG who gets the most out the lineups on the floor. Your focus is always to get spacing for Cade to cook. You need shooters that you don't have to get that. The biggest problem the Pistons have is THEY CAN'T SHOOT!!! So that being the case the Coach is trying to figure out a way TO GET BUCKETS!!
