Sinon, l'adresse est vraiment cata. C'est assez incroyable et les matches de cette saison ne s'annonce pas terrible du tout de ce point de vue là.
Sur PistonPowered, ils ont déjà établi 3 conclusions sur ces matches de présaison. Les voici.
The Pistons are going to be a bad shooting team.
We know from last season that Frank likes a three-guard rotation as he expressed that several times. Knight and Stuckey are obviously in, and I assume Will Bynum has to be the third since he can play point guard and the other candidates for minutes in the backcourt — English, Khris Middleton and Corey Maggette — can’t. That’s a long-winded way of pointing out that the team’s two best 3-point threats other than Knight this preseason are possibly going to start the season out of the rotation. Add to that fact the struggles of Daye and Villanueva, whose only role on this team was supposed to be perimeter shooting, and the Pistons are in trouble from outside. They were 5-for-20 from three against Charlotte as a team and are shooting just 26 percent (29-for-112) this preseason. If the Pistons can’t find someone who is a 3-point threat capable of taking a rotation spot, their offense is going to struggle.
The Pistons are really bad at transition defense.
The same things that were happening to the Pistons on runouts in the blowout loss to the Heat on Thursday were happening tonight. It wasn’t as big an issue tonight because … well … there is a pretty huge difference between LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in transition and Kemba Walker and Ben Gordon. But still, it was just as easy to see what was happening even if the Bobcats weren’t converting like the Heat were.
The issue is Stuckey is clearly at his best getting in the paint. This preseason, Knight has also shown much more aggressiveness going to the basket. Your guards are usually your safety nets for preventing guys from running out and getting transition opportunities. If both of them are getting caught way underneath the basket at times, teams are going to have an easier time turning long rebounds or turnovers into layups at the other end. This is another reason having a shooter or two matters. If you can put a guy on the floor who has no interest in leaving the 3-point line on offense, you automatically have someone designated to get back on defense.
The Pistons are going to have a really fast, athletic team this season.
That, of course, starts with Andre Drummond‘s freakish athleticism. But it’s not just him. Jonas Jerebko is running the floor more aggressively and better than he ever has. Stuckey, Knight and Bynum are all pushing the ball. Greg Monroe is turning rebounds and steals into fast breaks because of his ability to lead the break (although he occasionally gets a bit out of control doing this). Drummond and Jason Maxiell are both explosive finishers and even English and Kyle Singler are more inclined to run than I thought when the Pistons drafted them. I don’t know that that speed and athleticism will translate into better basketball necessarily — it can lead to turnovers, foul calls and other negatives too. But I’m much more excited to watch, even if the team’s record doesn’t improve much as a result. Watching a bad, young exciting team beats watching the bad, slow, mostly old teams of the past few seasons. |
