11-12 (FRANK ERA) he shot 21% for 3′s …averaging 1.5 attempts per-game avg 15 minutes
only player 41 games and started 4

… i would “LIKE” to believe that the 2010-2011 Austin Daye is closer to the kind of player we have than the Frank Era Austin Daye…

In college he shot 42% for 3′s and no one question that he had NBA Range…

In the 16 games he started during the 10-11 (BFE: Before Frank Era) he shot 46% for 3′s avg 26 per-game …averaging 11.5 ppg ….

i believe 11-12 is more of a reflection of a coaching not knowing how to use players, and not knowing how to coach players up…. The 2012-2013 example of this is Jonas jerebko…

Daye is only 24 years old… he is a shooter, but on a team with no shooting, we cant find a role for him…but you can find a role for Maggette and Charlie V?

And, as I pointed out before, if you can nail down one facet of the game while using only two of your five available players, that gives you the flexibility to fill out other requirements with the rest of them.

The Pistons have no pair of players that will make the whole team elite at 3 point shooting, drawing fouls, ball movement, perimeter defense, interior defense, protecting the ball, or any other single important facet. So dominate the boards and build around that. How could this possibly come across as a bad idea, Otis?

Beides, dominating the boards helps markedly on both ends. Rebounding is always seen as a defensive thing (because the majority of rebounds are defensive) but offensive rebounds make a huge difference in how often a team scores (not per shot but per possession). 

If their defense ofsets their offense, that would put them even with the other team, right now we are below that, since we have only won 7 games.

Looks like it’s a win win situation.

Frank will have to trust Drummond in the post or on the block, and its okay if he doesnt score but as long as he is always playing going towards the basket…

so when team start to Front Drummond….he  can use his size and athletic ability to catch lob passes ….

Your Future
Monroe who many feel or felt had/has all-star potential…
Knight has been coming into his own as a scoring PG
Drummond in 2012 was thought to be the number 1 pick draft, and even this year many believed he was top 3 talented. Has exceeded expectations
Stuckey was coming off his best season, and has played well lately
Singler has been a nice surprise this year
English had a nice camp, was shooting 50% for 3′s and hustling on defense during the season until Maggette took his minutes, now He is in the D-League picking from where he left off

Solid players
Prince is having is having a VERY solid Season
Maxiel (should be coming off the bench) but he is having a very solid season
Jonas finsihed strong last season, and started struggle this season (clearly theres more to him being cut from the rotation than his mini slump)
Charlie V/Austin Daye = Servicable 3 point shooters….
maggette = capable NBA player

At some point you have to say..NO WE ARE NOT THE MOST TALENTED….But we have TOO much Talent to be 7-20 …. its not like we are playing the Heat, Spurs, Knicks, Memphis type team every other day…

Sorry its coaching, and that coach using a system that does not play to talent of his team….

Example: Verse the Nets…

that game was clearly in our Favor…Lopez wasnt coming back in the game, Humphries was not effective, and Blanchte fouled out….

Net play 6’7 Reggie Evans at Center, and 6’8 Gerald Wallace at PF…In the final 2 minutes….

We could have easily went Big with Drummond and Monroe for defensive and rebounding reasons to secure the 5 point lead  … Nope we play to the Nets Strenght

 in the 30-40 seconds….Gerald Wallace grabbed three key rebounds…and it looks like Maxiell was out of position and Monroe never ever left his feet…

No other coach would do that….

The only times we should be intimidated by a guy playing the 4 postion to make us come adjust, their names better be Durant or Lebron…

and i would still try to post them up on the other end…

I HATE FRANK!
