We’ve talked a lot about Jaden Ivey’s offensive fit next to Cade Cunningham, but his fate with the Detroit Pistons may ultimately rest on his defense.
Ivey has already shown much of what he needed to on offense even though he only played 30 games last season. The Pistons still need more evidence, but Ivey was shooting over 45 percent on catch-and-shoot 3’s and looked like the secondary scorer the Pistons lacked in the playoffs.
We know Ivey can at least get buckets in flurries, make 3-point shots and attack as the secondary option, skills he should continue to improve upon next season.
