This draft was very good imo , slept on a bit it seemed. Duren being one of many very nice players.

I’ve been preaching he would develop a shot from 3. Let’s see if can do it.

I really like the pistons young players.

Could be a really nice group in 2-3 years.

Livers is out again tonight vs. the Knicks.

I am sort of wondering how capable of staying healthy he is - lots of missed time to injury his junior and senior years, missed nearly his whole rookie season.

Missed some time sophomore year too

Pistons bench is awful. They need Noel, Burks and Livers back ASAP. Weaver should be looking for depth that they can depend on going forward as well as 3 and D wing players.

Watching my Bulls

Has Andre Drummond always had horrific hands, Pistons fans?

Livers will be key with this set up actually.

Expect nothing.

Yes, and he has the worst touch around the rim you’ll ever see.

Bro just chucks line drives as the rim, no arc at all.

How does he get so many rebounds when he can’t catch?

And he is so easily stripped!

Yup. Uses the slingshot technique.

As raw as the day he entered the league.

For what it’s worth, he can’t palm a basketball while moving. That said, I don’t think his hands are anywhere near Kwame Brown-level.

Edit: Aron Baynes and Zaza had worse hands than Andre as well. At least as Pistons.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Andre’s gotten worse. I don’t think he ever had the drive to be great. To be very good? Sure. Nothing beyond that. And maybe when he saw his career had peaked, even that diminished.

Grabbing boards is something you can do two handed and then carefully pass the ball to a guard. Hands on offense require you to do something with the ball, make decisions, deal with a defender, and often use one hand.

I still wonder why Kofi couldn’t catch on and do exactly what Drummond does.

Livers has been cleared to play tonight!

Kofi isn’t as nimble as Andre. He may have a shorter wingspan too. I do still think there should be some way Kofi could help an NBA team as a 3rd or 4th big, but most teams would probably rather have another shooter.

He might make more money as a pro-wrestler, though. He’s certainly got the build for it.

Pistons bench took it on the chin last night but replacing Knox and Hami’s minutes with Livers and eventually Burks for CoJo will help a lot.

Thought Diallo might develop , apparently not ?
