On a morning episode of The Pindown, Blake and Wes dive into the past two weeks over some caffeinated morning beverages. They discuss what has been so impressive about the pairing of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, and why the strides both have made defensively say more about JB Bickerstaff than either player. They also break down Jalen Duren’s defense, contrasted with what we’ve seen from Isaiah Stewart on that end. At the end of it all, the guys take a positive outlook on the season: why these games have been valuable tape, what we’re learning and why that horrible Knicks game was just a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day rather than a trend.

The Pistons are back and better than ever! Well, maybe not better than ever. But they did look better than they did last year in game 1. Wes and Blake take a deep dive into Cade Cunningham’s big night and the impact the Pacer’s early pressure on him had for the rest of the roster. They discuss Jaden Ivey’s highs and lows, identifying where he excelled and what he can still improve upon after a really solid night. They also explain why this game was the full extent of the Jalen Duren experience.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, Blake and Wes take some time to drop a few hot takes (and one cold take, literally), discuss some power rankings, break down the Pistons goals for the Central division and debate if a top 3 pick this year is more valuable than one of the current young guys hitting their respective ceiling.

Wes and Blake discuss the slew of Pistons news and how new head coach J.B. Bickerstaff will fit all the new and existing pieces into his rotations. Cade Cunningham signed his rookie maximum extension and now has more teammates who complement his playing style.

So, what will all the offseason moves eventually look like on the court? With NBA Summer League on the clock, the guys also preview what to look for in No. 5 pick Ron Holland.
