• Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Leads Detroit in scoring

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Ivey finished with 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, six assists and a steal across 39 minutes in Saturday's 124-118 loss to the Celtics. Ivey led the Pistons in scoring, and even though Cade Cunningham is the team's go-to player on offense, there's no question Ivey is enjoying an excellent start to the 2024-25 campaign. The third-year guard has scored at least 17 points in every game thus far while surpassing the 20-point mark in his last two appearances. Furthermore, he has increased his scoring totals with each passing game. A regression is likely to happen, particularly in his shooting percentages, but Ivey is clearly outperforming expectations early in the season.

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  The Pistons exercised the fourth-year option on Ivey's rookie contract Monday, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports. Ivey is now under contract through the 2025-26 campaign. After a solid rookie season, the dynamic guard took a step back in Year 2. Nonetheless, Ivey remains a key part of Detroit's future and is expected to get another chance as Cade Cunningham's partner in the starting backcourt this season. However, newcomers Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway could push Ivey for playing time if the youngster continues to struggle with consistency.

He averaged 15.4 points, 3.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 77 regular-season contests in 2023-24 but struggled with his shooting, hitting 42.9 percent from the field and 33.6 percent from three-point range.

  Ivey scored 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding five assists, four rebounds and a steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 105-97 preseason loss to the Suns The fifth overall pick in the 2022 Draft has had a strong start to the exhibition schedule, as he looks to prove he has a place in Detroit's future plans. Ivey should be set as the team's starting two-guard alongside Cade Cunningham to begin the season, but the former will either need to improve his scoring efficiency significantly or become an asset on the defensive end of the court, or both. If he doesn't, Ivey may lose minutes to the likes of Tim Hardaway, Malik Beasley and Simone Fontecchio.

Ivey is competing with Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway for that starting gig, and he outplayed both of them, so things might be trending in the right direction for him with the regular season approaching quickly.
