Jaden Ivey has only been back for two games and is on a minute’s limitation, but he’s already showing exactly what he’ll provide for the Detroit Pistons, which is scoring in bunches.
Ivey dropped 12 points in eleven and a half minutes last night against the Pacers, coming off the bench and providing lightning-in-a-bottle scoring. The wild thing is that Ivey blew two uncontested layups just after entering the game, so could have easily had 16 points in just over 11 minutes.
It’s hard to say that a team that is 15-2 and just tied the longest winning streak in franchise history has a big need, but bench scoring would be one of them, as the Pistons’ bench was barely staying afloat with a +.
