From what I read, Monroe is now “automatic” from 15 feet…that’s a stretch 4, so we can cut Daye and CV also.

IMHO JJ is not a 4 – he cannot cover 4s – remember how every unknown power forward feasted on Detroit when JJ was playing the 4. He must play the 3

Max can block shots and is a wide body in the lane. If Drummond or Slava can play solid D, and protect the basket, there’s no reason to keep Max in the rotation. From what I read, Monroe is no “automatic” from 15 feet…that’s a stretch 4, so we can cut Daye and CV also.

Try 44 reg season games. That lineup has been together more than 2 pre-season games and its proven to be mediocre at best.

Tonight he trots out Jerebko/Monroe up front after seeing it for 24 reg games already where they went 4-20.

It just makes no sense to me why he continues searching through the same combos he already spent all last year evaluating and proving that they either didn’t work or were nothing special. He’s got a bunch of new pieces to work with now and he keeps trotting out the same old garbage lineups. If he’s using preseason to experiment, he’s not doing a lot of useful experimenting.

yes, let’s all start questioning Frank’s coaching ability after two preseason games in which he’s switching up the lineups for evaluation purposes.

Daye was a terrible pick from the start. A late first-round prospect, drafted 15th overall, with interest publicly broadcasted for weeks before the draft.
I don’t want soft players on the Pistons, be it physically or mentally. Daye is a pillow as far as toughness is concerned.

Thats exactly how I feel. There’s no chance of them being anything more than mediocre with this current starting lineup. If Frank honestly thinks this starting lineup is going ot lead him anywhere than I’m starting to question his ability.

If they start Drummond and Jerebko, at least there’s a chance of being something better.
