Detroit Pistons & NBA Talk

Franz, by far

I don’t think people realize how much some of these NBA players would absolutely dominate college ball. Jordan Poole and Caris levert would be the best college players by a wide margin. They would single handily carry us to the natty and would average 30 a game. No one in college is stopping either of those guys

Franz is an NBA all star. He would be the best offensive and defensive player. He would be like LeBron during his heat days playing against a tanking 76ers team

The answer is “whoever is the best pro” (Franz)

I can’t argue with Franz. My only nit is just a lot of what Franz does is what Danny does. I’d want the ball in Franz’s hands more than Wolf’s, so how does Wolf adapt and how congested does the paint get?

That would be something to trot out a frontcourt that’s 6’10", 7’ and 7’1".

I think we have had Sam out there with both bigs before but this is a little different.

That would be true for every choice. All the guys would take over the primary ball handler role from Wolf, and would just run the stuff that Wolf is doing. They would just be exponentially better at it.

Wolf is not a non shooter, so he doesn’t have to congest the paint when Franz is running the offense.

A lot of what Franz does is what Danny does but way better

I do feel like Tatum Malauch and Flagg would be a good test in Final 4.

Indeed. That’s why I was trying to figure out Danny’s new role.

Cade 29pts and 10 assists at the half

Stewart…What are you, 8 years old? Why are you fouling on a 3 pointer when you have a 4 point lead with 2 seconds left?

That’s 6 in a row. Within striking distance of the 4/5 matchup.

That Brandon Jennings run being over a decade ago is breaking my brain

Both TIMMAY and The Beez shot 6 of 10 from 3, and Cade topped them!

During the game, they showed a stat that Duren had just tied the 2nd best 5+ assist streak by a Pistons center, having done it 6 games in a row. The best is 7 games. Up until today, both the longest and second longest streaks had been held alone by Bob Lanier.

And if you remember Big Bob Lanier as a Piston, you are indeed old.

I’m biased because I worked with him but this video and Ben’s recent video debunking narratives about today’s game are just brilliant. Nobody is doing it better

I’m middle-aged but not Bob Lanier-old.
