When it comes to the top scorers in the NBA, you will definitely think of names such as Curry, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and Larry Bird. But now the Detroit Pistons also have a super pitcher that's very surprising, and that's Sadiq Bay.
In the 2020 NBA Draft, Sadiq Bay was selected by the Pistons with the 19th pick in the first round to start his NBA career. Despite averaging 12.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game in his rookie year and shooting 38 percent from three-point range, the Pistons' exposure was too low for no one to know Bay.
By this season, Bay's performance has gotten better and better, sitting firmly in the Pistons' starting position, averaging 15.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, delivering 2.9 assists, and shooting 34.1% from three-point range. Obviously, Bay is the next generation of top pitchers in the NBA, and he deserves to play for a team with more exposure.
Today the NBA has only one regular season game, and that is the Pistons' away challenge to the Orlando Magic. The Magic are a weak team with average defensive ability, which gives the Pistons room to play. After a fierce battle, the Pistons began to open up the point difference from the second half, and finally defeated the Magic 134-120.
Bay played amazingly in this game, scoring 51 points on 17-of-27 shooting and 10-of-14 from outside the three-point line, which was extremely efficient. Recently, the NBA has set off a scoring spree, with All-Star players including James, Irving, Durant, Tatum and Towns all cutting points.
As an ordinary player, Bay can also score more than 50 points in a single game, and it is not easy to put yourself together with these star-studded names.
Bay may not end up being an All-Star, but he can at least be called a brilliant second-in-command.
