Its preseason…….but Ausar has to be better!! His freethrows are still flat, and he's not as aggressive offensively as he should be. When Cade and Ivey aren't playing, he has to be the lead dog!!! Hes just not there yet……..hopefully playing with Cade will help him tremendously, but so far this preseason, he hasn't really shown much growth
We got the wrong Thompson twin, and that's why Trajan picked Ron instead of Matas last year. Bricking FT's and scared to score – Ben Simmons lives on
Bro WTF are you talking about we didn't have most of our starters in this game And they had and kept their starters in most of the game and a lot of our young guys did pretty good we were still close most of the time until the end sucks we lost but it wasn't some completely horrible game smfh it's basically practice for the bench guys
Please trade IVEY !!
Should of played Cade the first half,this would of been good him.
Stewart reminds me so much of the hustling BAD BOYS and also Ben Wallace. Stewart embodies the Piston winning culture, hard work, hustle, physicality and defense.
I liked to see Duren play
Ivey is held out due to sore ears…..hee hee hee
Ausar for Lauri >
Ausar has not looked good at all this preseason 8ppg on 0% shooting from 3 and 41% from ft line through these 3 games
Ron has outplayed him thus far and has shown strides shooting the ball from 3 and ft line also is never scared to take a good look
Ya it’s just preseason but Ausars handle is not there at all, has no idea how to play in the half court. And still just makes bad decisions looking lost half the time. I’m so confused by him. I used to think he was a really good processor but he continues to make boneheaded decisions on both sides of the ball. Hell figure it out I think but a rough first couple preseason games
Daniss had a better game in than I think you made it out to be. Playing against one of the best defensive teams in the league with hardly any supporting cast. 19 points in 80% shooting (3/4 from 3) and 6 assists. Thats a very tough matchup and yes he turned it over more than we would like but he played a pretty good game all things considered.
