SADDIQ BEY

The Detroit Pistons recently announced their 2022 NBA Summer League roster via social media with some notable players making the list.

When the league first announced the lottery, the Detroit Pistons, to many fans, got hosed, as experts believed this year’s draft was a four-person race featuring Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren, Jabari Smith, and Jaden Ivey.

In a recent report from The Action News, the 23-year-old ranked among the top 10 hardest-working players in the 2021-22 NBA season. Bey ranked ninth on the list that included Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges, Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges and Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton. According to the report, Bey burned 34,659 calories and covered 192.6 miles over the course of the 82 games. Tyrese Haliburton, Sacramento Kings / Indiana Pacers, 29,436 calories, 206.7 miles4. Buddy Hield, Sacramento Kings / Indiana Pacers, 34,967 calories, 192.2 miles

DETROIT -- Not much seems to keep Detroit Pistons sophomore forward Saddiq Bey away from the court. In being available from every game this year, Bey became one of the team’s most dependable players. But Bey’s availability wasn’t the only way the Pistons leaned on him over the course of the season. By the end of this season, Bey averaged 16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists on 39.6 percent shooting from the floor and made 34.6 percent of his shots from three. So as Bey looks to the future of his game, he’s not focused on one specific thing.

The Pistons won three more games than the year before, finishing the season 23-59 after injuries ravaged the team early in the year. He quickly adapted to the Pistons system putting up a double-digit game in his first outing in a Pistons uniform. But he ended the season with two 30-point games and started 29 of the 58 games he played this season.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham was one of the only players on the court more than an hour before a recent game, breaking a sweat as if he was trying to keep his job even though his future in Detroit is secure as the No. 1 pick from the 2021 draft.

It lasted 174 days, required the usage of more players than any season in history primarily because of the ongoing challenge of playing through a pandemic, and saw playoff-positioning chases go all the way down to the final moments.

Following Detroit’s 110-101 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder last Friday, the Pistons moved to the fourth-worst record in the NBA. The Pistons were without guards Cade Cunningham and Cory Joseph, in addition to the players they have already shut down for the season.

The Sixers (46-30) outscored the Pistons 25-20 in the first quarter before taking a 54-50 lead into the locker room at halftime. Detroit beat Philadelphia 102-94 on a 27-8 run which saw several timely threes from Braxton Key, Isaiah Livers and Saddiq Bey.

On Thursday night, it was a clutch block from rookie Cade Cunningham that allowed the Pistons to hang on. They beat the Raptors 108-106 and completed their first sweep of the season. The Raptors’ run was sparked by the ejection of head coach Nick Nurse, who had picked up two technical fouls after arguing with officials about a foul. Saddiq Bey, who scored 23 points, had six rebounds and three assists, slowed the Raptors’ push with a driving layup. Then Cunningham got up in the air and slammed the ball against the backboard to stop Gary Trent Jr.’s layup attempt with 4.8 seconds left on the clock.

Saddiq Bey got the Pistons off on the right foot, scoring 13 of his 28 points in the first quarter. Saddiq was unbelievable in the first quarter and then hit huge shots down the stretch. Killian (Hayes) was big-time down the stretch, guarding, getting into action, doing different stuff, obviously huge inbound pass at the end. Jerami made huge shots. It was a good game top to bottom.”Now the Pistons look to grab their first win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.

Kelly Olynyk made a fadeaway jumper from the baseline at the overtime buzzer and the Detroit Pistons beat Charlotte 127-126, their first victory over the Hornets in nearly 4 1/2 years.

Kelly Olynyk did much of the heavy lifting from long range and would later sink the game-winning shot. He hit a couple of three-pointers that forced the Hornets to take a timeout with 7:10 left in the game. The former Gonzaga Bulldog set the Pistons up for solid positioning to snap a 15-game losing streak to the Hornets. The rookie split the free throws, giving the Hornets one last chance to put the game away with 9.4 seconds in the game. He scored the Pistons’ first five points with a turnaround fadeaway jumper then a shot from long range.

The Detroit Pistons won the NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday night, landing the franchise its first No. 1 pick since 1970, when the Pistons drafted Hall of Famer Bob Lanier.

The No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Cade Cunningham, led Team Barry to a 25-20 victory over Team Isiah and Detroit Pistons second-year players Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart in the Rising Stars Challenge championship.

On Friday night Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart showed off why the Pistons’ future is bright. The rookie guard delivered a clutch three at the top of the key that gave his team a 24-20 lead. Then Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner hit one free throw making Team Barry the first to get to 25 over Team Isiah, which included Bey and Stewart. Cunningham scored five points, had two rebounds and three assists in the title game but ended the tournament with 18 points and nine assists. Bey scored five points in the final, ending the night with 21 pts as well as the game-sealing block on Jalen Green in the first semifinal.

With the Detroit Pistons still in the initial stages of the franchise’s restoration, they understood that this season would have plenty of challenges. Head coach Dwane Casey has often said that this year, this team won’t see their growth in the win column. The Pistons scored 17 points off of 18 offensive rebounds while holding the Celtics to just two offensive boards. Saddiq Bey pulled down five of the Pistons’ offensive rebounds along with six defensive rebounds as he continues to develop his game. The three-young players along with Jerami Grant, who helped seal the Pistons’ win with a turnaround fadeaway jumper, have given the franchise hope that the restoration is moving in the right direction.

With the NBA All-Star Break well within their sight, the Detroit Pistons looked to begin the downtime on a positive note. The Pistons battled from start to finish and with a one-point lead at the end of the third, they gave themselves a shot to snap their eight-game skid. Then Hamidou Diallo hit Cade Cunningham in the corner with a behind-the-back pass where the rookie knocked down a three. But the Pistons snapped their losing after Tatum missed a jumper at the buzzer sealing the Pistons 112-111 win. His third triple of the night stretched the Pistons’ lead to six, their largest of the night, with nearly 10 minutes left in the game.

The last time the Detroit Pistons and the Washington Wizards faced off, Flint’s Kyle Kuzma delivered the dagger that sealed his team’s win overtime. The Wizard’s 26-year-old scored 17 of his 23 points in the third quarter to give the Wizards a comfortable lead heading into the final quarter. He made all but one of his eight shot attempts from the floor as he helped the Wizards down the Pistons 103-94. Detroit fell behind by 12 in the second quarter as its second unit worked to build chemistry. Detroit ended the second quarter on a 20-8 run, the last time it threatened Washington with a significant run.

On Friday night, it wasn’t the first quarter that sunk the Detroit Pistons’ chances to snap a six-game losing skid. This time it was the second quarter where the Charlotte Hornets scored 43 points and set a new franchise record by scoring 79 points by the end of the first half. The Hornets downed the Pistons 141-119 to hand them a seventh-straight loss. Saddiq Bey scored 25 points on 50 percent shooting and had four rebounds, three assists and two steals. But the Hornets’ hot offense proved too much as they continued to fire on all cylinders from every spot on the floor.

The Detroit Pistons refused to go quietly in their Sunday afternoon matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite the Timberwolves long-range game looking to put the game away quickly, the Pistons kept finding ways to answer to stick around in the game. But the Timberwolves stretched the Pistons with their threat from outside as well as their accuracy at the free-throw line. When the Pistons and Timberwolves faced each other last Thursday, Detroit had little answers for Taurean Prince and Malik Beasley. Despite the final stretch of the night, the Pistons put up a strong fight against the Timberwolves.

DETROIT -- There was a lot to shake off when the Detroit Pistons returned from the locker room after halftime. The Pistons’ first-half shooting woes carried over into the third quarter with back-to-back layups from Marcus Smart to get the Celtics out to a 50-31 lead. Just under two minutes later Diallo and Bey combined for another play that injected some life into the stagnant Pistons offense. The Pistons had little time to celebrate Bey’s milestone since Celtics forward Jayson Tatum began to heat up. The three-time All-Star scored 19 of 24 points in the third quarter, helping the Celtics stretch out to a 78-56 lead.

While consistency has been a key focus this year, the Pistons continue to flash positives throughout their matchups that show continued growth. But Thursday’s loss showed where the Pistons can continue to improve as well as the strengths they can continue to lean on. Saddiq Bey and Jerami Grant finding synergy: Over the last couple of months, second-year forward Saddiq Bey has shown steady growth in his game after breaking out of a shooting slump. With Grant returning this month, Bey returned to his usual position at small forward and the two have looked to adjust. Bey scored 21 points, while Grant chipped in 20 as the two helped the Pistons stay afloat midway through the third quarter.

Anthony Edwards scored 25 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns added 21 points and 14 rebounds and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Detroit Pistons 128-117 on Thursday night.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Pistons will once again get some reinforcements soon and the team’s rotation will return to what it was at the beginning of the season. Both Kelly Olynyk and Jerami Grant will likely return to action soon. In Grant and Olynyk’s absence, the Pistons have leaned on several other players who seized the available playing. The Pistons shifted Saddiq Bey to power forward and bumped Hamidou Diallo into the starting lineup at the three. In the month leading up to his injury, Grant had begun to break out of his shooting slump and was making 35 percent of his shots from distance.

The Detroit Pistons put themselves back on the winnig side of things after a solid performance against a divisional rival, and will now look to make it two in-a-row when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.

It was very much a team effort with several players having their time to shine throughout the night. Plus, the team had a big night from its second unit, which currently ranks second in the league in average points per game. With such a strong all-around night, Casey said Sunday evening’s win should serve as a reminder to the Pistons of what it takes to have consistent success in each game.

It comes on a night when the Pistons went up against a Cavaliers team that is known for its length and ability to disrupt plays in the paint.

Bey ended the night with 30 points, seven rebounds and three assists. The Kings shot 53 percent from the field and 44 percent from three.
