The Pistons are in year 4 of their rebuild (some would say they’ve been rebuilding since the Drummond draft), and currently seem to be taking steps backwards with their young core.
Cade is currently the least efficient player to average 20+ ppg in the league & Monty has been questionable with his coaching patterns. Their 2020 draft where they selected Hayes, Stewart, & Bey, has been a failure considering who was available on the board. They had similar cap money to Houston this off-season & instead of adding quality vets to help their core, they took on expiring contracts for players that aren’t even in the rotation.
There is no doubt they are the “black eye” of the league, & have been for some time.
First and foremost he has turnover issues. He makes 3-4 lazy passes a game. Secondly, his conditioning isnt very good. He was out with lower leg all last season and his conditioning has suffered so he struggles late in games. We have very poor spacing which doesnt help with turnovers or getting efficient looks. Lastly, almost every team doubles him pretty consistently. When he isnt doubled he generally looks pretty deadly still
