what happened to mcdyess?

McDyess and Blair have disappeared :x

The problem with Dyess is he needs good shots. He understands he needs to take and make shots, and doesn't have a problem with it. It's just almost against his natural grain, so to speak, to fire up semi-contested looks that aren't off good ball movement. He is one guy I do think needs to assert himself more. For example, Blair constantly slips screens and it throws his defenders off. I'd like to see Dyess making more of these types of moves, and a few play calls having HIM come off screens is nothing new or undone for 10 years (ahem Pop).

Last year : 30.1 min 9.8 reb 9.6 pts

This year : 21.4 min 5.8 reb 6.1 pts

Dice plays 9 minutes less.
With 30.1 min his stats this year would be : 8.2 reb 8.6 pts.

A Good Point!

I dont have the numbers in front of me, but I believe Dice is averaging 6pts and 5 rebounds a game in about 20 minutes. Im not sure what more you all expected. Coming into the season I thought 9pts 9rebounds in 28 minutes was the absolute best case scenario. Its been a very quiet 6 and 5 admittedly and I would like to see more consistency and more open looks on his 18 footer. but its been par for the course so far with Dice.

Someone forgot to mention that Dice's play picks up really late into the season especially last season where he just "carried" the Pistons frontcourt, which is kind of scary. Either way, he needs to play at least half a game.

Sorry missed your post when I skimmed through the first time. This was my point exactly. We're getting exactly what we payed for with Dice.

When on the floor at any given time, he is at best the 4th scoring option. I'm see the decrease in scoring output is reasonable. What'd I'd like to seem him improve is his rebounding however.
