Multiple Very exciting Pistons updates... This is Perfect

We get multiple huge updates surrounding the Detroit Pistons, including JB Bickerstaff speaking out on Jalen Dern, a look at how Cade Cunningham will be fully unlocked this season and how the Detroit Pistons have a master plan heading into the remaining preseason games pushing into the season. We're going to break down everything you need to know on updates from Jalen Dern as he ramps up his practices to get into action for the Pistons team and a look at so much more surrounding the team so with that let's just dive straight into it today where Jalen Dern has continued to prepare for his pre-season debut after a very lengthy standout when it came to his contract where it almost got to the last hour before the UFA or RFA rights were pushed into place now looking at Jalen Dern and the plan to return JB Bickerstaff made it very clear the plan is definitely to get him to play in the pre-season now of course with Jalen Dern being out he was not around the team facility for quite some time he was not practicing with his group during kate cunningham's mini camp but with jalen duran and the impact that he brings i understand a lot of fans have a sour taste left in their mouth especially after jalen duran waited quite some time and of course the her nose battles they did during the contract talks but with jalen duran on and off the floor we can see of course on the floor the net rating plus 11.4 offensive rating jumps up nearly 10 as well defensive rating drops a tiny bit but of course looking in a vacuum Isaiah Stewart last year was incredible when it came to rim protecting at his size it's truly going to be missed but Jalen Duren is someone that I understand again we're going to be upset that it took so long but he wants to be here that whole press conference alone I did a full video on that go check it out as well proves that Jalen Duren cares about nothing but winning with this team and of course that's incredible to hear as a Pistons fan and looking at the report of course with Jalen Dern we want the production to come back the strengths of elite finishing gives Detroit its interior foundation the true shooting percentage was comparable to Will Chamberlain during the regular season and a machine on the board sitting in the 98th percentile when it came to total reboundings last year at 10.5 per game more base of creations which he has been working on which we're going to dive into is what's going to make Jalen Dern a better player season after season and what unlocks the Pistons where they can hopefully finally beat the Cavaliers next round and advance to hopefully the conference finals or the NBA finals but before we dive into too much around Jalen Dern because the production that Batman has been doing off the court has completely reshaped the way we look at this team this video is sponsored to by Kelshi on Kelshi you're trading directly against other users and not the house like the traditional sports book you're buying yes or no contracts against outcomes of sports politics and even the weather for example you can trade on the Detroit Pistons winning the NBA championship $55 would net you $2,573 trading against others that don't believe in the Detroit Pistons and you can also trade on their upcoming preseason game versus the Washington Wizards. $25 trading will get you $39.27, but that's not even the best thing with Kelshi.

Now the paint, the non-restricted area field goal percentage, regular season 50.2%, 86th percentile, 18.8% in the playoffs, isolation points per play, 1.05 in the regular season, 86th percentile, once again sitting at 0.76, bottom of the league at 14th percentile. Now of course, Jalen Darn working on his game starts here and of course going into his face-up scoring we're attacking space without rushing making the simple passes when he arrives and finished with the defense takes away the dunk this is going to be a player where there's going to be a lot of eyes posted on him and his success but it's not just him in that front court with John Collins adding a lot of new options next to him going forward now looking at John Collins and the new offensive of tools that JB Bickerstaff is going to showcase next to Duren I'm so excited to see these two next to each other and coexisting John Collins besides Jalen Duren when available it adds another option of a space creator and someone that can also fill in those gaps if they want to run John Collins as a center with b-ball Paul also being an option there's so many choices for what he can do And looking at exactly what John Collins is bringing is the spacing that opens up so much room for not only Kate Cunningham getting to the rim, which the best in the NBA when it comes to that metric, but looking at John Collins adding a course at the rim presence with 37%, 75.3% field goal percentage, 92nd percentile, you can pause, I'm not going to work through all of these, but looking at the spot up shooting, the post up, the transition, above the break three there's so much John Collins truly brings and of course on the defensive end there's a lot when it comes to contested shots you have the best rebounder in the NBA next to him this is going to be a recipe for so much success between the two punishing small defenders when Detroit finds mismatch he finishes possessions more than he creates for others which of course you don't need someone that's going to create for you you have that in Cade Cunningham but with the spacing it's not only John Collins and an underwriting aspect is the shooting that the Pistons are going to be able to showcase in their next game Duncan Robinson scouting report of course we know a dangerous Allen when defenders collapse on Cade his range creates a room above the break so not only do you have an elite shooter above the break in John Collins we already know we have in Duncan Robinson but looking at exactly what the impact he brings and the chemistry that he has with Kate Cunningham is his rose along Duncan Robinson last season his overall efficiency stand nearly unchanged with this lineup you now have those multiple options and they're preparing again to fully mix this together with the Pistons prepare to face the Wizards in again a preseason game it's not the home opener versus the Boston Celtics but I'm excited to see how things are going to push and how a fully healthy roster with Jalen Duren picking up on Saturday October 10th 7 p.m eastern at the Capital One Arena the second preseason game for the Pistons I want to know your guys thoughts on everything down in the comments first off on Jalen Duren returning and hopefully getting into action with Jalen Duren there we should be able to see Kate Cunningham Duncan Robinson Asara Thompson John Collins and Jalen Duren truly I am so excited for all this to finally roll out and pan out for this team we have a lot of young guys in abuco corey that showed out in that first game hitting not only a three when he entered but also the game winner it's incredible to see the depth this pistons team has let me know your thoughts down in the comments a quick little segment on kade versus the wizards we can see he balls out of course they added anthony davis they've added a bit of more infrastructure but nonetheless looking at last year nearly 28 points 8.5 assists the man's balls out maybe we see a 40 bomb drop by kate cunningham though i'm sure they're not going to run him into the ground versus them in a preseason game but let me know your thoughts on everything down in the comments because again i love reading through each and every one of them detroit basketball is so so close to getting back go put your comments down there right now what do you think the averages for jaylen duran kade and sarah are going to be i love reading through it i mean it was marked by won't take any much more time go Detroit basketball and I'll see you in the next one
