Love Beasley! He’s a great fit for our culture and I love his quick trigger. I thought Harris would be our best addition but I’m with you it’s Malik.
If the pelicans cut Zion in the offseason could the pistons go for him? I was just thinking because of Trajan
Man ausar will be special his instincts body and pksymaking ability will set him apart .
why miami heat have like NFL schedule of game?
The role Beasley play is the role he should be training Sasser to do! He not a point he's a shooter
I say for now … play them all sparingly…match up based
Great return for Ausar…oan these refs gotta be stopped
Coaching staff needs to take responsibility for putting Simone’ in a place to succeed. Management already underpaid him, but he is a very much needed player that is trying to add too much to his game at once.
They need to get him back to catch & shoot, 3&D. That’s it! H
Holland gotta sit if he keeps taking dumb threes and shooting them over the rim. Teams are daring him to shoot. Even yelling out. Let him shoot ! The turnovers plus the bad shots. Gotta sit.
Holland is a trajan pick. Simone was apart of a weaver trade. Simone will sit but it should be holland. I would like to see holland play heavy minutes in the G league to grow his game
Said it when they signed Beasley. Best off-season addition. Reason was he’s been a consistent 40% three point shooter at high volume for years. He’s doing same thing now. Bad game against the raptors and he does make some bad turnovers but he’s been good overall.
Malik’s, been awesome..👍🏾
Teks future. Who knows. Part of the problem is JB isn’t using him the same as he was last year. That’s one gripe I do have with JB. Tek was a 40% corner three point shooter and really good off the catch and shoot. Now he’s not even given a fraction of those opportunities. So you see him drive and he stinks at it. Yet you see Holland get these spot ups and he’s an absolute disaster of a shooter. He should always be cutting or driving to the rim. Never shooting threes. Just a weird coaching job and the players not having high enough iq to do the right thing.
Simone, may not wanna be here! How he is playing speaks volumes. Detroit can be a tough place to live. The energy in this city is arguably one of the worst in the nation. Hypothetically, this could be affecting his play and it shows. Just a could be/alternative scenario..🤔🤔
I think the best way is to ease him in and let him push others out of the way when he is ready.
