    Considering how much better Sengun and Christopher are and not mentioning any other of the players that went after him he is a bust...

    Let's just enjoy the game. We won't win many anyway.
    As for top picks, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

    Let's just cheer for the kids and drop the tanking business.

    The media also sort of pushes the pick before it even gets to draft night.... Cade was a Piston long before draft night and Detroit had no choice... So glad they got the 1st pick... Dodged a bullet...

    I tell you what, maybe it's the Rockets homer in me but it sure seemed to me that Cade really got some favorable box scoring.
    Early in the 1st quarter he threw a bullet pass down low that went off the pistons player out of bounds.

    You throw a pass off someones fingertips the passer gets the turnover correct?
    Checked the box a minute later and Cade had 0 turnovers and his teammate had 1 instead.
    Then later on there was a space of a few minutes when CC either made a bad pass or got stripped 3 times.
    Checked the box a minute or so later and he's just sitting at 2to. :eek:

    Then there was a sequence in the 2nd quarter where Cade passed out to the 3 point line.
    The man 1st faked a shot, then faked a pass and THEN drove in about 3 steps for the layup.
    Looked at the box a minute later and Cade has another assist!:rolleyes:

    There was even 1 point where I thought he was still on 5 points and looked a he had 7 and I for the life of me couldn't remember the basket.
    On this last one several minutes had elapsed and I could be wrong about it but all the others I was paying close attention to.

    I know he leads all rookies in turnovers so maybe they're giving him some favorable box-scoring to keep his to down and his assists up!
    Do the home teams do the statistical recording?

    I guess we have very different opinions of what bust means. Bust to me means they will have a horrible nba career. Also, it is way way way too early to call anyone in this draft a bust. Cade has shown signs of being an excellent player, just not the alpha super star player.

    When the Pistons have Jabari Smith next year you think they will care about losing this game?
