Detroit Pistons stock market: Who is trending in January?

Detroit Pistons stock market: Players trending up

Saddiq Bey

It looked like Saddiq Bey was starting to find his shooting stroke in December, but that was short lived and he has been struggling to score over the last seven games.

Even though he’s been playing big minutes mostly as a starter, Bey’s scoring numbers have actually gone down, culminating with his two point effort in the last game against Philly in which he started and played 29 minutes.

In his last seven games, Bey is averaging 12.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting just 39.2 percent from the floor overall. Those totals include his 28-point outburst against the Magic and if you take that out, he’s averaging just 10 points per game and has failed to crack double digits twice in the last six.

Bey is shooting 40 percent from 3-point range in that time, but a lot of that came in the game against Orlando. This has not been the season we were hoping from Saddiq Bey, and there are few signs that is changing.

Isaiah Stewart

Even when not hitting shots, Stewart still does a lot of things to help the Detroit Pistons, so I am not worried about his recent shooting slump.

Stewart really is the heart of the team and has been asked to do a lot this season with all of the injuries. He shows up every night, and has made a lot of progress overall offensively this season.

But his current shooting slump is getting too big to ignore, as Stewart has shot just 40 percent from the field overall in the last seven games and just 20 percent from 3-point range. He’s dropped to 34 percent from long range for the season, which isn’t terrible, but you’d like to see him tick back up in the second half.

Every player goes through slumps and I am sure Stewart will eventually break out of his. I like that he has continued to shoot them with 4.9 attempts per game in this seven-game stretch, and eventually they will start to fall again.
