I trust him more then Duncan shooting 3's

Dope ass analysis on Cade, Duren, and the Pistons overall offensive and defensive philosophy that's so anti the current NBA norm.

Cant believe Cade is getting these many ft's. Good sign.

He added the James Harden move. Extend his arms driving to the basket. Defenders gonna reach and he'll either get fouled or finish for and1

Hopefully Stewart is ok. We're minutes away from having the best record in the East if Bucks win.

After the first they took it to the Nets.

Duren was bullying Claxton

Looked up and we are the number #1 seed now. Getting Beas back would be crazy

Remember when people in the media were debating Green or Cunningham at #1. Green would have been such a disaster.

This Duren leap was unexpected to me. Playing hard every night. He’s great at finishing around rim with finesse or power. If he continues to shot 80% from line he will probably avg 20 ppg this year. Its very realistic that he will be able to add a mid range jumpshot to his game soon. His shot mechanics have always looked good

Not even sure who I would compare him to. Maybe a young chris webber

Not surprised at all with the jalen duren leap. I defended him last year.

One of the youngest players in the league. Got a good handle, underrated passer, soft touch around the rim. Great hands.

He shoots about 70 percent from the FT line so I knew he could get a mid range jumper. He had a nice hesi pull up mid range jumper last night

Duren and Cade looking like shaq and Kobe

That’s why it killed me when everybody was calling him a bust a year or two ago. The nikka was 20 and still drawing with crayons and nikkas was acting like he was a finished product.

Damn near 40 years later and the media still chasing that Jordan archetype. A sg with a dunk highlight package will get the ultimate push, all other shyt be damn. They can't help themselves
