Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press It’s become a familiar scene for the Detroit Pistons this season. Shots don’t fall in the early going, the offense gets out of sync and the game gets away from them.

Yes, the Detroit Pistons are rebuilding. Yes, this is only the second season of the planned “restoring.” And sure, the early schedule has been arduous. But the Pistons (3-10) have played ugly basketball and looked disjointed, specifically on offense, far too often 13 games into the season. They authored another disturbing chapter Monday at Little Caesars

Detroit — The numbers are somewhat outrageous: 113 points in 116 minutes and 37.7 points per game. It’s 51% on field goals and 52% on 3-pointers, plus 82% from the free-throw line. Of course, it’s a small sample size, but Saben Lee has dominated in his short time with the Motor City Cruise this season.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is no ordinary 20-year-old. He is no ordinary NBA rookie. And he is certainly no ordinary No. 1 overall draft pick.
