Pistons fans how we feeling today??
6th
Bad. Just awaiting the lottery ball fate to fall out of the top 4.
52% for Top 4. Not high enough for my nerves.
Iāve grown beyond pessimistic with this 100% chance stuff. It just does not go the Pistons way recently.
Pistons last three top 6 picks.
2003: Darko Milicic (pick that was traded to the pistons from the Grizzlies)
1994: Grant Hill
1981: Isiah Thomas
Not a lot of lottery luck there.
Question for everyone: who is your favorite overall player in the draft?
Favorite as in who do you think will have the best NBA career, not who you are rooting for the hardest because thatās probably Franz for everyone on this board
Cade, no question for me. Too skilled and too big. Didnāt even get to show his full potential because of how horrible his teammates were.
Cade. My #2 is Jalen Green (although Mobley probably has a higher floor). I prefer building around guards/wings as opposed to bigs. Guys like Jokic and AD are unicorns. And when AD was on his own the Pelicans werenāt great anyways.
I agree on Cade. My #2 is Kuminga. He was fantastic for the Ignite this year. Much more playmaking than you would expect
Cade, Green and Mobley are all close to inseparable for me. I think Green is the best fit and I actually think Mobley might be the best player, but Cade fits the most natural NBA superstar archetype that heās worth #1
Praying for Cade
Should I be concerned that another Adam has the exact same opinion as me? Is this a long-lost doppelganger I donāt know about? Agree with your comment 100%.
- Cadeās combination of playmaking, shooting, size, and athleticism feels like the most likely success story and fun player.
- Suggs will probably have a solid career but less dramatic.
- Green & Kuminga COULD turn out to be the best or most funā¦but they also seem to have a larger variation of outcomes.
- Mobley is a fun player and no doubt will have a good career. Iām just skeptical that heāll ever be more than the 3rd best player on a team. I think Jaren Jackson is a great player and fun to watchā¦but do you EVER hear about him? Does he dominate games consistently? Is he ever going to be a consistent all-star?
We agree the #1 pick needs to be Johnny Juzang right?
John Hollinger has Franz at #7 in his latest big board for the athletic
Cade. Mobley. Green. Suggs. Wagner? Moody?
Hollingerās rankings is certainly something. Scottie Barnes at #3 is interesting considering heās a non-shooter and is a specific fit for certain teams. Heās a poor manās Ben Simmons to me. I have no idea about the foreigner so I wonāt comment about him.
Iām excited for Combine Wingspan measurement twitter.
