The Pindown: A Detroit Pistons Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

It’s a meaty episode this week as Wes and Blake break down exactly what we need to see from Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, and ask the most important question for each player heading into the year. The guys also discuss the Pistons lack of size, whether or not Ausar can or should start at the shooting guard position and if Jaden Ivey will be on the roster for the final game of this upcoming season.

We’ve got you covered for all this and more in this week’s episode.

It’s finally the end of the sports desert. The NFL starts its season this week and the Pistons training camp is only 6 weeks away! In celebration, the guys break down a few unconventional but fun and useful lineups that they want to see JB Bickerstaff use this season. They also discuss Marcus Sasser’s role this season, why Fontecchio is a better defensive option than Ron Holland right now, and why Jalen Duren’s pick and roll offense may be worth the sacrifices he forces on defense in the short term.

Since the draft live show only covered night one, the guys never got the chance to discuss Bobi Klintman and the trade up in the second round. Blake gives the scout on Klintman while also offering more detailed thoughts on Ron Holland as the draft has settled into the rear view. Wes and Blake break down the Tim Hardaway Jr. trade, the signing of Tobias Harris and what their roles will be this upcoming season in Detroit.
