Hi, I am doing a survey for my interactive design class where I am doing a project over NBA statistics. My goal is to come up with a better way for fans to receive their statistics, analyze these statistics and overall just stay more updated and informed. Completing this survey will help me a lot with my research and I'd really appreciate all the responses I can get wether you're a new fan, or a seasoned vet I'd love to hear from you!

(For context, I’ve been a Pistons fan since the Bad Boys days, and I currently reside in San Antonio) I turned 45 yesterday. Today my wife, myself, and our friend were doing some day drinking and decided to go to Cheba Hut for sandwiches and more beverages. I don’t remember how it came up, but my Pistons fandom was brought up. Our Lyft driver turned out to be first cousins with Cade. He literally had pictures and everything to prove it. He gave me the items in the picture because he doesn’t run into many Pistons fans here, lol. Anyways, what a crazy story. We exchanged numbers and the next time the Boys are in town he’s going to get ahold of me.

What else do you guys think the pistons need to put themselves in a more contending position? Obviously they need a center and another shot creator/ball handler for cade and another shooter to space the floor. I really like imagining the fit malik monk would have with this team. Multiple seasons 40% from 3, hyper athletic, his entire reason for being in the nba is to get paid to score. Center wise it kind of looks bleak unless duren resigns with the qualifying offer or with a cheaper deal than he wanted. Another shot creator/ball handler perhaps one of ryan rollins/tyler herro/kpj. I really hope the pistons offseason isnt done yet cade has some of the worst offensive help in the league and its been like that since we drafted him

I don't understand why many people in this fan base,are so low on Daniss Jenkins,and what his improvement would mean for this team.

Before I lift him up,I have to remind everyone,that Duren was just one of the reasons,why we didn't beat the Cavs,and Daniss was another...(Daniss was basically a rookie,and this was his first playoff experience,so it's understandable)

Daniss improving would likely push him into the starting lineup,unless the coaches wanna keep the structure the same(him running the bench unit/being our 6th man)which I can see,and wouldn't be mad at.

But it would also give us 8 legitimate players,that can give us great production,in the playoffs,which many teams,don't have.

Moreso,another group of guards who can produce,when Cade,and whichever other SG that ends up being the starter,comes out,allowing us more dangerous combinations,and the ability to keep up our offensive attack,with no stagnation,as we saw a lot,last year.

In general,there are a lot of players,who can elevate their games,already on this roster,and that second "star"/scorer people are looking for, *could* be Daniss....

It might have been this past season or two seasons ago, a video that Jalen Duren was posing for the cameras, they used it as a promotion for something. Supposedly the video was making people, especially girls go crazy because they thought he looked very sexy in that video. I remember seeing some comments about it and then seeing the video and how people were saying that the Pistons social media team had to remove the video because of the attention it was getting. It was on X (Twitter) that I saw that all happening.

Does anyone by any chance have that video or a link to that video?

After watching this U of M game, please just let it be October 20th at 3pm! I need pistons basketball back bad!

if duren is looking for 40 million a year and and the pistons want pay 30 million a year, lets say, duren signs the offer BUT !!! pistons owner invests lets say 30 million into a company and have the company pay him instead. this way both sides are happy.

would jaleb duren do this?

Change my mind

Could this really be Duren’s fate?

I believe this is the reason why the Pistons while still looking for a secondary scorer/shot creator aren't going too crazy about it or breaking the bank. You also gotta think about it from Ausar's PoV. He literally heard the Cavs coach talk shit saying to leave him unguarded cause they know he can't make shots. I know that had to light a fire under him because deep down, he probably believes he let his team down because his offense isn't consistent. Which is why I believe this whole offseason, he's probably been working on nothing but his offense.

Also, I think this was always Ausar's destiny and maybe even the intention of the front office as well. Everyone knows Ausar is a monster athlete with arguably the best defense in the NBA. We would even see flashes throughout the regular season and Playoffs how much of a game changer he'd be if he had consistent offense. If he grows and develops into a legit shot creator this offseason, then the NBA as a whole is screwed. Good luck stopping him and Cade.

Here's hoping Duren stops being a baby and takes what the Pistons give him and he also improves too.🤣🤣🤣

Take the qualifying offer and get paid even less somewhere else next year this guys annoying af Cade would make any lob threat look good I’m sure we could find one who plays hard in the playoffs and is a actual good rim protector for far less than what duren wants.

As valuable as Cunningham is with the ball in his hands, one facet of his game has out of necessity gone largely unexplored: his ability to score as an off-ball threat. Cunningham shot 48.8 percent from 3-point range on 41 catch-and-shoot attempts during the postseason, while shooting 75 percent from distance on one dribble and 50 percent on two dribbles.

The one- and two-dribble sample size is much smaller, with Cunningham only attempting eight and 10, respectively. But his most recent playoff performance, with the added physicality the postseason presents, could be a reason to explore more consistent actions for Cunningham to score without being the point of attack.

He’s shown a willingness to let others initiate offense, whether it be Thompson or Daniss Jenkins. Isaiah Joe (42.3 percent), John Collins (40.6), Prince (43.6) and even Gary Harris (41.2) — all new offseason acquisitions — shot at least 40 percent from beyond the arc last season. Detroit’s roster this season could be the best 3-point shooting roster assembled around Cunningham.

Picked up a few old caps this week, already counting the days until tip-off…

There has been tons of discourse on the big man and for the life of me, I am finding it difficult to understand why he’s worth more than $30 million a season. He made the All NBA team by default and only played well when it didn’t matter. For you JD defenders, why is he so important in your eyes and tell us why it wouldn’t be possible to grab or draft some one with the same size that can catch lobs and rebounds at the same level for half the price. What do you see in him because I ain’t convinced he will develop based on the past 4 seasons
