Jaden Ivey, the fifth pick of the Detroit Pistons in the 2022 NBA Draft, has had an uneven start to his career. In his rookie year, after Cade Cunningham went down with an injury, Jaden took on a lot of primary ballhandling duties. In that capacity, he showed real flashes of excellence (my mind always goes back to a loss against the Raptors where he made a bunch of nice plays in the fourth quarter). Conversely, in year two, under Monty Williams, Jaden was yanked around in terms of role and minutes distribution.
