Uhhhh… what? The Detroit Pistons are currently 3-10 at the 14th spot in the Eastern Conference and it mostly because their offense is absolutely abysmal. The Pistons lack of offense is so bad and Brandon Jennings revealed a shocking reason why.
via ProBasketballTalk:
Detroit is middle-of-the-pack defensively, but ranks just 28th in offensive efficiency, and is next to last in team field goal percentage — ahead of only the 0-12 Sixers.
Brandon Jennings believes he knows the reason why.
From David Mayo of MLive.com:
“If you ask the question about why we’re not making shots, we don’t shoot,” Jennings said after Friday’s 99-89 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. “We don’t shoot in practice. We haven’t really had a chance to work on our games or anything. When we do have shootarounds, we’re not able to get up shots like we should.” …
“I just think if you’re going to have shootaround in the morning, I think it’s good that you get loose and you should work on shots that you’re going to take in the game,” he said. “Even before, after practice, we’ve got to start getting in the gym, just working on our game more.”
Three of the team’s starters in Andre Drummond, Josh Smith and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are each shooting below 40 percent individually to this point of the season, however, so Jennings may be on to something.
