About this episode
At 7-9, the Detroit Pistons are off to their best start in six years. Bryce and Omari begin the show by evaluating the team as a whole and breaking down what's changed for them this year. While they’ve frustratingly left some close games on the table, the team seems to be more locked in this year, especially on the defensive end. What explains the team's current ranking of 8th overall defensively in the NBA? After the break, the guys jump right into player evaluations, including Jalen Duren’s awareness, the strong green flag of Ron Holland’s play, and a shout out to Marcus Sasser. To close out the show, the guys cover Cade Cunningham showing elements of a true two-way player. If he continues this pace, could Cade play his way into the all-star conversation? Bryce and Omari also answer listener questions, including the future problem of what the team should do with their upcoming draft pick.
