  4. being a pistons fan recently

    beat Lakers 😊😊😊
    loose to Hornets 🤬😔
    beat Hawks with Cade GW 🤩😝
    loose to Rockets 🤬🤬
    get Ausar back 😇🙏

    Christ it’s a roller coaster 😭

  5. As of now a Ausar for Rob Dillingham trade would be nice with Ausar’s absence on the offensive side of the ball and being that the Pistons need another scoring threat off the bench to pair with Ivey/Cade

    Ron has earned his role in the rotation and is Trajans guy giving similar defensive efforts as an Ausar (got a clutch steal and layup to put the pistons up vs Charlotte few games ago) with being better offensively.

  11. Whatcha mean it doesn’t take a rocket scientist ? JB making that mistake right now and is fine with it. Letting Holland jack up threes even though he cheeks from the long line. I fully expect JB to make that mistake again

  12. Ku, I still think Ausar will be limited by his shooting. That will get him spot matchup minutes from 10-20 minutes a game imo. Glad to have him back and he was missed in the recent Rockets game for sure.

    I'd be intrigued by a Cade, Beasley, THJ, Tobias, Ausar smallball lineup. Yes, Ausar at the 5

    Also, I do not agree with Stew being a high volume 3 point shooter… he is a good option in a pinch but we got to let go of this daydream of making him the steph curry of bigmen. Stop this nonsense bruh. Let the natural shooters get the shots. Stop it. Use Stew as he is. He has improved defensively. Feed him inside the paint, primarily.

  16. Can we address the elephant in the Room. We have a rebounding issue. Second chance opportunities is killing us. All role players got to knock down those open shots. That's what they get paid to do. Especially Tobias. Holland is grabbing boards, hustling,attacking the basket and knocking down shots. How playing him in the G-League helping him Ku, he's playing pros and doing ok.Let him and Ausar earn the position. And trade Tobias asap.

  17. I don’t believe ausar was ever meant to be a starter this season even if he was healthy enough to go at the start of the year. I think we are expecting too much out of a year 2 ausar. If the secondary ball handling comes it’s not coming this year in my opinion. What ausar needs to develop is that jumpshot before trying to work on anything else. The kid is an elite defender already but if he’s unable to shoot he’s going to be playing the same role holland is now. Ausar getting 30+ minutes is crazy
