No accountability. Goes in and trash talks with Kevin Garnett when he can't even hold his jock. Just cut the kid, let him dry out in Europe. Maybe he will learn how to play.

Ben Gordon, Brandon Knight, and Tayshaun Prince have all been very accurate from the perimeter this season, <strong>but the Pistons haven’t quite figured out how to best use their — and Daye’s, based on his nonslump shooting marks – focused long-range strengths to the team’s advantage.</strong> <strong>Considering just how miserable the Pistons are in almost every area of offensive performance, the inability to get more attempts for their best perimeter shooters represents the squandering of a potential strength." </strong> why is he not just rising and firing?

I didn't think <em>all</em> of those possessions were catch and shoot scenarios, but definitely more than a few "Why not just rise and fire?" head scratchers. Basically, just don't dribble Austin, ever. This looks like they moved him from freshmen to varsity.

This is a real head-scratcher to me. Wow this is a lowlight reel that Daye probably wishes would disappear.
