The Pistons test new offensive options during the pre-season. And one of them is to hand over the ball yet Ausar ThompsonIn order to break free Cade Cunningham.
JB Bickerstaff really wants to see that his young wicker has more responsibilities in creating a game.
“It’s something we’re going to do more.” explains the coach A athletic. “The tempo where (Audar Thompson) plays when he has the ball and the threat he sets the way the teams must defend it. It has the ability to better become their teammates.”
This new role distribution should also be allowed to cade CUNNINGHAM breathes a little. It is too often directed by the opposing defense, the leader is under constant pressure.
Drilling to improve

“Ausar is a player who can take a good attack” He underlines. “As he allowed him to become more comfortable as Presecond comes in, I think he will be a terrible weapon for us.”
