Under the Hood - it’s time to see what’s really going on inside this Pistons team.
It was a career night for Isaiah Stewart - he finished with 31 points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks in 31 minutes of play. He was a beast down low yesterday as Nikola Vucevic had trouble providing any resistance at the rim against Stew.
He even added a couple long balls, too!
Ausar Thompson continues to be his dominant self on the defensive end, but it’s the offensive end where he’s still finding his footing.
Over the last six games, he’s averaging nine points on 46% shooting with two assists and two turnovers per game - those turnover numbers are creeping up lately.
There were a couple possessions last night where I thought we could’ve generated a better shot than the one he decided to go up with.
We’re going to see some variance in his shot selection as he continues to figure out his place in the halfcourt offense.
Daniss Jenkins had a whopping 15 assists last night where eight of them came in the fourth quarter alone.
Blink and you’ll miss it, but this was my favorite pass of the night - I don’t have a clue how he found Chaz Lanier for this wide open three-pointer.
